The breakage is as follows:
| Architecture | Size (MB) |
|---|---|
| arm64 | 6.4 |
| armv7 | 4.6 |
| armv7s | 4.6 |
| simulator | 9.2 |
When included in an app, Helpshift library and all it resources will add around 2.15 MB size.
If you are using the bitcode version of the library then Helpshift adds around 2.15 MB size.
Memory usage (Bitcode enabled in debug mode)
Helpshift's install call (installForApiKey:) : adds around 0.9 MB of memory with peak usage of 1 MB (for 1-2 seconds). So around 0.9MB of memory is used when a Helpshift screen in not engaged.
Helpshift's FAQ screens (showFAQs:) adds: ~ 6 MB of memory. (This depends on the number of FAQs and section in the host app).
Single section: adds peak 5 MB peak, settled at 1 MB.
Single faq: adds ~ 4 MB memory (This depends upon the faq content).
Helpshift's New Chat screen (showConversation:) adds: ~1 MB
The combined library size (libHelpshift.a) is 9.9 MB. The breakup is as follows:
| Architecture | Size (MB) |
|---|---|
| i386 + x86_64 (simulator) | 4.6 |
| armv7 | 1.7 |
| armv7s | 1.7 |
| arm64 | 2.4 |
When compiled with an app for deployment on the app store, armv7, armv7s and arm64 will be taken up and i386+x86_64 or the simulator architectures will be ignored.
The app store size was estimated using Xcode's "Estimated App Store Size" feature for archived product build.
On an average, Helpshift Unity SDK for iOS adds 550KB per architecture.
Memory usage for the SDK support screen launches.
| Support API launch | Memory Usage (approx. MB) |
|---|---|
| showConversation (with no Conversation) | 6.01 |
| showConversation (with already running Conversation) | 6.56 |
| showFAQs | 9.87 |
| showFAQSection | 9.50 |
| showSingleFAQ | 6.23 |
Tested with a demo app. Usage will increase with number of FAQs and number of messages in a conversation.
