Unreasonably large executable size from `create_app`

[AhmedAliStats]

I am on Windows 10.
Julia v1.7.1
PackageCompiler v2.0.4

The code that I am running is

Pkg.generate("MyApp")
using PackageCompiler
create_app("MyApp", "MyAppCompiled", filter_stdlibs=true)

The contents of the app are

module MyApp

function julia_main()::Cint
	return 0
end

end # module

I am getting an executable app of approximately 419 MB.

Most of this is because of

Is this the expected size or something on my end?

Thank you very much.

This is expected. Julia currently has no good way to run code without these supporting libraries. But there is work in progress of trying to improve this.
