How can I reduce the size of this executable file

You cannot reduce the size of the executable inside your built app bundle. This is your code! The only ways to reduce its size are:

• Cut code. Obviously you can't do that because you would exclude functionality that makes your app work.

• Remove an architecture slice. You should not do that because you want to build for all possible architectures.

Having said that... I have never generated an executable inside the app bundle anywhere near this large. Maybe you are measuring / building wrong:

• Make sure you are archiving. Nothing else except an archive is worth measuring.

• Make sure that you are generating a Release build when you Archive.

• Make sure that your Release build settings include the full compiler optimization (smallest, fastest).
