So I tried deleting the /Assets.xcassets/AppIcon.appiconset/Contents.json file (Deleting from Assets node in Xcode), cleaning my build folder and derived data from Product -> Delete Derived data, bumping my version number to ensure it's a different version I'm checking, then going through the same process I did before and outputting it, and I still see 3.5MB compressed, 4.5MB uncompressed, and 2.8MB in assets.car
The only thing showing in my Assets part in Xcode is "AccentColor"
To ask differently, is it even possible to get the assets.car file to not have the AppIcon variants inside of it that take up multiple megabytes? This is on MacOS 27.
I can't attach the assets.car so I'll put the report
App Thinning Size Report.txt
assets.json
