@long1eu I used Swift because I don't know ObjectiveC very well. I didn't know about this Swift overhead!

This is a nice to have in the long run, since the code base isn't that large it shouldn't be too much work. Adding this to the future milestone as the focus now lies into releasing a v0.0.2 version of the plugin.

I have do many researches, and I found that this size increment is due to Swift standard library and runtime that are included in every app, but with the release of Swift 5.0 this year, these libraries will be available by OS and the app size will not be affected.
Swift is the successor of ObjectiveC that will replace it in the long time, so I think that is better to keep the plugin in Swift.
Reference 1: Swift 5 Primary Focus: ABI Stability
Reference 2: What Does ABI Stability Enable?

I agree with the Swift move. 👍
