Improve grpc library file size in iOS and Android build
See original GitHub issueThe document provides a way to strip debug symbols from libgrpc.a, which reduce the file size from about 100m to 18m.
Meanwhile, the stripped libgrpc.a is still a FAT file, which contains x86_64, armv7 and arm64 architecture. Since armv7 is already deprecated, we can use lipo command to remove x86_64 and armv7 from it.
lipo libgrpc.a -remove x86_64 -remove armv7
The file size can be reduced to ~6M, if you are targeting arm64 devices only (iPhone 5s and later).
The libgrpc_csharp_ext.so for Android platform can also be stripped by following command:
##Choose proper architecture
[NDK_PATH]\toolchains\aarch64-linux-android-4.9\prebuilt\windows-x86_64\aarch64-linux-android\bin\strip.exe" libgrpc_csharp_ext.so
The file size can be reduced from 46M to 3M
Hope these tips would help someone who hesitated because of client library file size.

Is it already thinned? A FAT file means it contains multiple archs in it. Try
lipo libgrpc.a -archsto find out which archs it contains.It looks like grpc-unity-packaged is removed from grpc daily build page. Where can I download the latest version? @triste24 @bartutiryakioglu
Meanwhile, could you try that whether the version in this repo is still working? libgrpc.a
