Yep this is exactly the problem I'm trying to solve! A lot of large app companies have switched from Xcode to third party build systems like Buck or Bazel. This can make things faster but even more confusing. I've found analyzing the actual build products to be the best solution to make sure nothing unintended is happening.

Interesting! Are you interested in going back into the build process to try and thin the app directly? Or just in helping developers identify the sources of app size?

Currently identifying sources and offering suggestions for how to make improvements. For many apps this can reveal a lot of opportunity!
