Unity iOS Build Size Enormous but Textures Small

I'm building a unity game for the first time. When I build for iOS I get a full build size greater than 700mb but in my build report it says that the user assets are only 71mb. So what is the rest of this coming from?

I know this is a bit vague but I'm really stumped. Not so much looking for an answer as for where I should direct my research. Other relevant info:

  • My game is 2D

  • It is comprised of 8 levels that each has a simple drag-and-drop puzzle (it's for kids).

  • No complex animations or scripts

  • No packages installed

Build report below:

Any ideas? Thanks!

There was reports that Unity do not include size of mp4 files in build report. Check your special folders like StreamingAssets folder for such files included into build.

Also check if this answer suits you.

Would be great if you attach information about what version of Unity you are using.

Besides your assets, I am suspecting whether "Strip Engine Code" is enabled in player settings or not?

It's enabled by default. But worth checking. Quoting from Unity Scripting API:

"If this is enabled, unused modules and classes of the Unity Engine codebase will be removed in IL2CPP builds. This will result in a smaller binary size. It is recommended to use this setting, however, you may want to disable it if you suspect this causes issues with your project. Note that byte code stripping of managed assemblies is always enabled for the IL2CPP scripting backend."
