iOS app size vastly larger than Android

[Carwashh]

I’ve built and released my game on Android, the apk size is only 28MB. I did a build for iOS, first using IL2CPP and building for both Architectures … this resulted in an IPA size of 171MB! At first I thought it was because the build was IL2CPP and has both ARMv7 and ARM64 … however I’ve just done a mono build and the size is 156MB.

The editor log after doing a mono build shows:

Textures 32.4 mb 72.9%
Meshes 277.1 kb 0.6%
Animations 11.0 kb 0.0%
Sounds 0.6 kb 0.0%
Shaders 635.8 kb 1.4%
Other Assets 3.9 mb 8.8%
Levels 728.9 kb 1.6%
Scripts 944.0 kb 2.1%
Included DLLs 4.1 mb 9.1%
File headers 1.5 mb 3.4%
Complete size 44.4 mb 100.0%

How does it jump from 44MB to 156MB? Why is it so large? And how do I get it down to something more acceptable?

Edit: Using Unity 5.0.1f1 , and the same plugins between platforms.

Nevermind, I believe it’s because, for Android, I’m using the GooglePlayGames Unity Plugin, and adding this (unwanted) framework to iOS adds a 139MB file.

Edit: Removing that has now taken it down to 31MB, app submitted!
