Massive File Header Build Size

Questions & Answers
1

I am making a game for iOS and we are having problems with File Header size. For some reason, the file header size comes out to be 222mb which is ridiculous. I could not find much helpful information online about what is causing this and I have taken some (rather unsuccessful) moves towards reducing size:

  • I have only made things navigation static (and thats it) when they require it (terrain and terrain objects like trees, crates, etc)

  • There is no excessive tagging or layering in nested objects

  • The resources folder contains only a few every small prefabs

What should I do?

Though I still do not know the cause of my problem, I was able to fix it by copying over the contents of each scene into a new empty scene and eliminate 250mb of file header.
