Analysing Assets.car file in iOS
ios, ios6, ios7, iphone
Solution
This tool can extract a .car archive: https://github.com/steventroughtonsmith/cartool
Steps to extract archive:
Once you've downloaded the zip from github, compile it in Xcode to generate the command line tool. Then expand the `Products` group and right click on the `cartool` file and locate it in finder. You can then run the tool like so:
- open terminal
- `cd /path/to/cartool`
- `./cartool /path/to/Assets.car /path/to/outputDirectory`
Problem
I have trying to reduce the overall size of my iOS application which is currently 48MB. When I analyze sub folders, I found Assets.car is taking 41MB. I am not able to open and see which one is taking that much space. I couldn't find any good documentation regarding Assets.car file. Can someone suggest how to view the contents?
