What is the incorrect behavior that you are experiencing?

We are updating Google Places from 4.2.0 to 5.0.0 and we noticed a huge size increment (5 MB) in our App Store builds.
Comparing the executables size inside the GooglePlaces.framework is noticeable too, from 5.9 MB to 15.4 MB which is a 2.6x

What should happen instead?

Is it possible to optimize version 5.0.0 to reduce its size? Or creating subspecs so we can select the functionality we only need?
We are always trying to prevent hitting the Apple size limit warning, we have a lot of external dependencies and a 5MB increment is not viable for us.

Google Maps SDK for iOS version: 5.0.0
Google Places API for iOS version: 5.0.0

Note: To upgrade to Places 5.0.0 we required to upgrade Google Maps SDK too to 5.0.0 but the frameworks sizes of Maps SDK are actually reducing their sizes, that's why we think the increment comes from Google Places SDK.
(We can't test them separately since Places depends on Maps)
