Question: do the 'private let readMe=""" ... """ ' blocks get bundled with an app?

Hi all,

Quick question on some iOS/Swift fundamentals related to something in this repo:

Would the private let readMe=""" ... """ blocks in the CaseStudies examples get bundled with an app if they were not cleaned up in some build step?

I really like how clear the developer experience is of reading these blocks, and I've been using them to include links to API references, Apple documentation, etc.—but I'm wondering if I need to write a cleanup script before archiving for a build.

Hey @andwrobs. It this case, they are bundled because they are referenced/used in the View itself to create the AboutView.
If it wasn't the case, they would likely be pruned by Swift during the optimization phase.

If you want to add API reference, documentation and links, the best solution is probably to harness DocC annotations though. It was made exactly for this purpose.

@tgrapperon thank you for both answering & pointing me in a better direction :-) cheers
