Flutter iOS App Size issue Runner app size is 450MB Can anyone help how can this be reduced

Question

I have tried almost all the solutions available online. People has suggested to change flutter version to stable, clean the target etc.. but I am not able to reduce the Runner.app size so far with any of these solutions.

Note - In "Runner.app/Frameworks/Flutter.framework" folder there is one file named "Flutter" which is occupying 383MB of space.

Can anyone help me knowing how this can be reduced?

Diawi is not allowing me to upload that big file in order to get it installed using bar code & link.

Thanks in advance

App size for applications is very important. There are two dimensions to it: the download size — the size of the app on play store/when downloading/when installing and the install size — this is what happens when you download the app, unpack it, compile and optimize it. This expands the application significantly and can be two, three times or even more the install size. Why should you care about these sizes?

Download Size

When a user goes to install an app say on play store, he sees the loading bar and then the actual app size. The larger the app, the greater the chances of a failed/cancelled download. As developers, we want to get the app size small so that we get as much distribution for our app as possible.
