I used the LLVM compiler on my app (well, one of them), and saw a reduction in size. Not huge - maybe about 0.5meg on a 12meg app. But it's something. That said. most of my app is resources, which it can't reduce :)
I've love to know, if Sebastien or Jeff can answer, is: There are 4 options: Normal compiler LLVM arm 6 LLVM arm 7 LLVM arm6+7 and Use Thumb2 for Arm7. Under what circumstances do I use any/all of these? I usually pick Arm6+7 and Thumb2, but thats only to cover all bases :) Might also be why the size was bigger, if it's a "fat binary" On Wed, Aug 10, 2011 at 19:36, joclem <[email protected]> wrote: > I've read that MT4 could reduce the size of apps (from miguel's tweet I > think).
