130MB is localization data.

This detail was interesting too: https://twitter.com/emergetools/status/1810790291714314706

> There's over 20k files in the app, 17k of which are under 4 kB. In iOS, the minimum file size allocation is 4 kB, so having many small files causes unnecessary size bloat. Gmail could save 56.4 MB by moving their small files to an Asset catalog
