Not sure. I compiled in release mode including a prebuilt newton framework. there are probably settings to optimize for size. Also, I will have to find a way to compile the newton framework from scratch to avoid debugging overhead and include ARM64 code.

Thanks for that great offer. I would like to go through a few iterations of testing, but eventually, signing would really help less experienced users. And we may also get the automatic version update going that is originally part of NCX.
