Is that a new app or did you notice a size change after the update of the CLI?

I noticed an increase of my app size (apk and ipa) after upgrading the Ionic cli v4, I’ve just reported an issue about that

it is not new app and i am not updated my CLI

ok thx for the feedback, then it isn’t the same issue

if you want to reduce your app size your should use the --prod flag and pay attention to what you code and include in your app, in that topic I compiled some idea if that could help https://forum.ionicframework.com/t/app-boot-time-current-state-and-best-practices

good luck
