Answer 1

Disable "Embedded Content Contains Swift Code" in your application build settings.

As @Rob Napier mentioned, but you can also set this flag to NO if you have a swift code project. The flag only means if you have an ObjC project which includes Swift code via a framework to indicate that you need swift support.

HOWEVER, it does not matter how big your IPA file is (if that's your concern) because Apple removes the folders on processing via iTunes connect As stated by an Apple Developer in the forums: https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/16339
