[jira] [Commented] (CB-1495) iOS default splash screen images take up several megabytes

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-1495?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13457438#comment-13457438 ] 

Shazron Abdullah commented on CB-1495:
--------------------------------------
