Episode 11 of Mobile Development with Fexingo flips the script on app bloat. Lucas and Luna explore a counter-trend: high-profile apps like Uber, Spotify, and Instagram are deliberately shrinking their binary sizes using modular architecture, on-demand delivery, and compile-time stripping. They examine how Uber cut its iOS binary by 40 percent using microapps, and how Spotify saved over 300 megabytes by separating core playback from discovery features. The hosts also discuss Android's APK split delivery and iOS 19's new 'thin binary' requirement for App Store submissions. By the end, you'll understand why smaller apps load faster, use less storage, and actually improve user retention. A practical episode for any mobile developer wondering whether to add or subtract features in 2026.
