iOS Release build much larger than Ad Hoc when using Cloud Build

Unity Engine

Greetings,

Today I wanted to create the release build for the app store.

I use Unity Cloud Build with 2 set ups, one using the ad hoc provisioning profile and the other one being a duplicate of the ad hoc, just using the release prov. profile.

When we wanted to download the .ipa from cloud build to submit it to the appstore, we realized that the ad hoc build is 47.5MB while the release build is 293MB.

What is the reason for this and how can we configure cloud build to achieve the same file size for release as for ad hoc? All I changed in the cloud build setup was the provisioning profile.

Regards

This is the normal behavior. The IPA for the appstore contains more information for the appstore to be processed, Once processed by the appstore, the size will lower. You can see that in the build info in the appstore dashboard.
