 Publishing the app triggers a [restore](/dotnet/core/tools/dotnet-restore) of the project's dependencies and [builds](/dotnet/core/tools/dotnet-build) the project before creating the assets for deployment. As part of the build process, unused methods and assemblies are removed to reduce app download size and load times.

 Blazor WebAssembly apps require [dynamic-link libraries (DLLs)](/windows/win32/dlls/dynamic-link-libraries) to function, but some environments block clients from downloading and executing DLLs. In a subset of these environments, [changing the file name extension of DLL files (`.dll`)](xref:blazor/host-and-deploy/webassembly/index#change-the-file-name-extension-of-dll-files) is sufficient to bypass security restrictions, but security products are often able to scan the content of files traversing the network and block or quarantine DLL files.
