Similar-ish to #6177.

Today I can use flutter build aot and du -sch build/aot:

6.4M build/aot
6.4M total

It would be nice to have a way to audit the size of my binary, for example flutter audit:

6.4M

ICU Data: x.xM
Engine: x.xM
Framework: x.x.M
Packages: x.xM

package:flutter_foo_plugin x.xKb
...

Otherwise I could easily see my binary hitting 10s of Mbs, with no practical way to reduce without commenting out code/assets, rebuilding, and trying again.

Steps to Reproduce

Basically just the default application of flutter create then:

  • flutter build aot
  • du -sch build/aot

    Thanks for the feedback!

    Consider this another vote for an extensible task/build system. flutter_tool can't be all things to all people, instead it should be extensible by our ecosystem. I don't have a solution in mind, but I do know that a logical next step for Flutter's ecosystem is an extensible task runner of some sort. Something that would allow users to install new tasks (like audit) from pub and then run flutter audit.

    I'm always excited by opportunities to lay the groundwork for our ecosystem to flourish, and it seems like other ecosystems have flourished by extensible build/task runners.

    Yes, some kind of extensibility model has been brought on many times. I opened #13834 to track it.

    Punting the present issue to milestone 4; this doesn't block beta.

    https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/16191 might be an alternative?

    This can now be done (as much as is possible with iOS) via the new devtools code size tooling: https://flutter.dev/docs/development/tools/devtools/app-size
