It shows size 19 mb I want to minimize this size but I don't know why it shows that much size.

Answer 1

19MB is not that much, it's not at all certain you can get it much smaller.

That said, in Build Settings of your project, do a search for strip and check that the linked project is being stripped

(you could also strip the debug symbols, but then crash logs will have little to no info in them)

Answer 2

• Do you have any sound files that can be large?
• Do you have any extern frameworks included? (These are most likely to increase space so much and you can't do anything about it for now..until iOS 9 will appear)
• Do you have any high-quality and large images?
• Check your Bundle to see what files you have there that can increase your space by that much

I don't know what your app does but 19mb is not very much in my opinion.
