It's maybe a naive question, but from my point of view I don't understand why it's even a problem. Why is the Uber app so big ?

This article is bogus. They spend a whole bunch of time benchmarking build sizes, nothing about why they need so much code in an iOS app to begin with.

Apple has dropped limits for large app downloads on cellular. They now put up a dialog to tell the user how big the download is and if they wish to defer to a WiFi download.

I checked the size of the Uber app and it's about 300MB. Uber Driver is 232MB and Uber Eats is 228MB.
