I imagine that Apple frameworks could be shared amongst all of the apps on a device, and therefore Apple framework imports wouldn't affect the final size of an installed app. In a test of a fresh Xcode project, the import of the Vision library increases the size of the corresponding xcarchive file of the importing project by 8 MB. That being said, the xcarchive does not necessarily represent the final size of the app.
I have two more similar questions:
- Does importing an Apple framework (for example's sake, Vision) into an external framework (let's call it MyDevFramework) affect the size of MyDevFramework?
- Does importing an Apple framework (for example's sake, Vision) into an external framework (let's call it MyDevFramework) affect the size of apps that import MyDevFramework?
