It has very much to do with UB apps,
Normal size difference between UB and non UB is 1,7 x to 2x, this
goes for Carbon, Cocoa and REALbasic.
The reason is that you need 2 sets of executable code in the Mach-O
bundle. It does not mean 2x size in every case because resources
such as images are shared between the code sets.
Cocoa Apps are smaller yes, but UB Cocoa app is still 1,7x to 2x
larger than the same non UB Cocoa app.
I didn't tried to argue, that UB apps aren't bigger than single-
target apps.
The size of RB UB apps comes significantly from (roughly 55% of total
size):
6 MB RB dyblib framework
2,8 MByte of plugin framework
The generated binary-code isn't small too.
BTW: RB seems to copy each and any plugin dylib to the target package -
even if plugins are not actually called.
BTW II: Since crashing apps show assertion dialog, I wonder if
compiled apps
would be smaller and faster, if RS would drop the debug
code._______________________________________________
