Creating Archive with Static Libraries

The installed size of the app, which is uncompressed, and the size of the .ipa file, which is compressed, are not directly comparable because they represent different things. Xcode can create an app size report, which you should use to see the different sizes your app has in its compressed and uncompressed states. Reducing Your App’s Size for has instructions on how to generate the app size report.

Thank you and you are correct. I installed the IPA file on my iPhone directly using Xcode and it loaded properly and everything works. I was surprised but happy at the reduced size.

I am now looking at the html file I present to the user to download OTA. When I click on the link nothings happens. I changed the manifest file URL to http instead of https and I received the following error on my iPhone:

"Cannot install applications because the certificate for (my domain) is not valid."

Below is my html code:
