Assets duplicating on Xcode 26.1 Beta 3

I've recently installed 26.1 Beta 3 alongside stable 26.0.1

When building my app with 26.0.1 the final .ipa size is ~17mb, however after building my app with 26.1 Beta 3 the size has increased up to ~22mb

The main difference is Assets.car blowing from 1.1mb to 5.6mb (or 8.6mb if I include all icons settings). Upon examining I've found new liquid glass .icon file duplicating itself multiple times as png variants (any, dark, tinted, etc).

Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

Thanks for the post. This is very interesting. Do you have the same issue with Xcode 26.1 beta 2 or just started happening on Xcode 26.1 beta 3? Any chance you have both projects zip we can diff to see the issue?

Thanks,
