The main contributor to the app size is the AppImages asset catalog that's included in 6 targets (and gets copied) and contains large and unused images.

I downloaded the .car file, extracted the images to see what takes the most space, and focused on just these assets.

Savings

  • -33.6 MB – JPBackground.pdf – replace with pregenerated tinyfied .png images that now take 1.3 MB instead of 6.9 MB
  • -5.2 MB – Remove JPBackground.pdf from the asset catalog shared between all targets and move it to the catalog specific to the Jetpack app (it was added in the wrong place)
  • -9.8 MB – Remove unused Stories-related files (this feature was removed)
  • -10.0 MB – Remove unused site creation site type icons (unused)
  • -3 MB (approx) – Tinyfied rppreview images (Site Settings / related post) – quality doesn’t matter much

This PR removes 61.6 MB from the universal build (expanded). I haven't measured the changes in the app-thinning report, but the savings will also be substantial, especially for @3x devices, which are most of them.

Here's the different in the alpha builds .ipa files (compressed):

To test:

  • Verify that the background is the login page background is still displayed correctly:

Regression Notes

  1. Potential unintended areas of impact

  2. What I did to test those areas of impact (or what existing automated tests I relied on)

  3. What automated tests I added (or what prevented me from doing so)

PR submission checklist:

  • I have completed the Regression Notes.
  • I have considered adding unit tests for my changes.
  • I have considered adding accessibility improvements for my changes.
  • I have considered if this change warrants user-facing release notes and have added them to RELEASE-NOTES.txt if necessary.

Testing checklist:

  • WordPress.com sites and self-hosted Jetpack sites.
  • Portrait and landscape orientations.
  • Light and dark modes.
  • Fonts: Larger, smaller and bold text.
  • High contrast.
  • VoiceOver.
  • Languages with large words or with letters/accents not frequently used in English.
  • Right-to-left languages. (Even if translation isn’t complete, formatting should still respect the right-to-left layout)
  • iPhone and iPad.
  • Multi-tasking: Split view and Slide over. (iPad)

    Support editing media metadata via XML-RPC #809 (#23316)

    * Support media metadata editing for XML-RPC connected self-hosted sites

    - Updated WordPressKit supports editing title, description, and caption of the media via XML-RPC
    - XML-RPC API doesn't support editing alt-text

    * Support editing media metadata via XMLRPC in MediaService

    Media is a type of a post therefore "wp.editPost" can be used to edit media metadata. Note that alternative text cannot be edited due to lack of XML-RPC support https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/58582
