Why ipa of universal app is 300 mb?

Question

I've build a universal app. On OS X file system XCode project with all resources and submodules take about 100 mb, but when I generate ipa file for ad-hoc deployment I get 300 mb file. Several months ago when I had standalone iPad app, ipa was at most 15 mb. Is it something to do with settings?

Look in the ipa file and see what is so big. – rmaddy Dec 05 '13 at 18:44 — rmaddy, Dec 05 '13 at 18:44
thanks! "Test" files, lots of them went into archive! – Alua K Dec 05 '13 at 18:47 — Alua K, Dec 05 '13 at 18:47

I have found a problem. Lots of pdfs (for testing) went into archive. Thanks to @rmaddy! I should have paid more attention.
