Is it possible to do similar analysis of IOS apps?
Do these services track your location too?
You can see one reason why apps can be so bloated: multiple analytics platforms, animations, etc.
Yes, I did used to do them as well. https://appgoblin.info has around 5k of iOS apps I checked but as of April this year I'm no longer able to get IPA files as Apple changed stuff.
I usually use Proxygen⁽¹⁾.
It’s crazy how chatty mobile apps are. Especially the “free” ones...
