Compiling .NET MAUI project from the command line

[cagriy]

I've got a relatively small project, 8-10 content pages, 5-6 additional classes.

When I compile the project on Visual Studio for Mac, even a full rebuild takes about 20 seconds, and a .ipa file of about 33Mb is generated.

I'd like to do the same using the following command line:

dotnet publish
-f net7.0-ios
-c Release
-p:ArchiveOnBuild=true
-p:RuntimeIdentifier=ios-arm64
-p:CodesignKey="iPhone Distribution"
-p:CodesignProvision="Automatic:AppStore"
-p:MtouchLink=None
-p:IsTrimmable=false

When I run this, it takes about 15 minutes in "Optimising assemblies for size." stage and produce a .ipa file of 79Mb !

What am I doing wrong here ? What would be an equivalent command line to publish just as Visual Studio does ?
