When exporting a pretty simple single texture scene to iOS my app size is 560mb

Thanks for reading. So I last used Unity in version 4 I think it was and don't recall ever running into any file size issues like this. My app is a single scene pinball kind of game with two shaded spheres for balls, two capsules for the paddles, one light, and a low poly box type model for the pinball field area with a texture on it. I'm using Playmaker but I believe that's it for assets.

When I export this to an Xcode project the project is 1.2 gigs (1.11 gigs for libiPhone-lib.a) and my app size is 560mb.

I tried to follow the checklist for reducing file size and looked at some other recommendations but it doesn't seem to help much.

Is this normal or did I flub something up?

Thank you.

 

Hi, sorry for the delay, I just saw that you replied to my post.

I started a default new 3D project with no other assets in Unity v5.3.4f1 and without adding anything I switched to iOS then tapped Build. This default scene in Unity exported to a 1.15gb sized Xcode project and then a 386.4mb app size. Unfortunately even this is too big for my project.

I will try deleting and reinstalling Unity to see if it's maybe an issue with my installation.

 

Hi, unfortunately a clean install of Unity and an export of the default scene resulted in the same app size. I read that the default scene is supposed to export to a 22mb app size. Is there something I can do to achieve this? Thank you.

 

How are you calculating the app size to be 386.4MB?
