If I had to guess it is a react native app that hasn’t been optimized for release yet (Bitcode enabled).

Thank you. Is that even normal/new norm? Back then when we released OS-native (read windows) code, we had to deploy without debug (assuming bitcode = debug) symbols.

Never mind, it seems like Bitcode has been disabled awhile ago. It’s been a hot minute since I last did mobile dev.

The promise of Bitcode was you’d upload an IR artifact and not the final binary (that held every supported platform). The App Store would then compile it for every supported platform and strip out all other platform’s aspects of it to optimize size.
