I'm working on Xamarin.Forms project but my Xamarin.iOS project is including some assemblies which I'm not using anywhere. I wanted to exclude those library from my project and not to be included in my IPA. Linker is set to "Don't Link" and I cant use "SDK Assembly only" as application stops working. I tried using "--linkskip=assemblyname" in mtouch configuration but, I guess its opposite to what i want. I want all the assemblies to be included in my build but want to exclude specific assembly.

    I suggest you figure out why linking is not working with your app instead. – Cheesebaron Apr 02 '19 at 12:06
  • Thanks @Cheesebaron for quick reply. I'm continuously working on it, along with it I thought of give a try to this approach. If is there any way to include specific assembly in linker process during build process, I would be able to proceed. – Mayank Shrivastava Apr 02 '19 at 12:11
  • If reducing app size is the end goal you can look here but I do not think you can do what you are trying to do: https://medium.com/@hakimgulamali88/reducing-the-app-size-in-xamarin-deep-dive-7ddc9cb12688 – FreakyAli Apr 02 '19 at 12:56
  • In Visual Studio look at Solution Explorer Reference Tab to see what libraries are being included. You can delete libraries that aren't being used. – jdweng Apr 02 '19 at 13:05
  • Hi @jdweng I tried that approach also but, the assembly which I want to delete is in Xamarin.iOS.dll which I cant delete from Visual Studio Solution Explorer Reference Tab. – Mayank Shrivastava Apr 02 '19 at 14:14
