iOS Itunes Connect app size increased by 30% when upgrade from 5.3.3 to 5.4.0. Why?
When I upgraded to 5.4 and uploaded a new version of my app it went from about 100 mb to 130 mb. Is this expected? I have a lot of big 2D textures if that gives any clue... App sizes always shrink 1-3% after being reviewed and ready for sale hovewer (why?), making my app builds all come under 100 mb. Does anyone have any experience how much it shrinks with unity 5.4? Can I hope for under 100 mb if I submit this build?

We updated from 5.3.5 to 5.4 and saw a huge 70mb increase in build size. It was specifically related to having BitCode enabled tho. Once we disabled bitcode, our build size dropped from 177MB to 60MB. Im wondering if there is still some optimization stuff that has to happen between Apple / Unity 5.4 / Bitcode Support or something.. we're ok with building without bitcode for now tho so it alleviated the emergency.
