This seems to have come back in 2018.3.6 (maybe earlier). I have a Canvas with image components, all with EditorOnly tags and they are included in iOS builds when disabled.

As was mentioned above, this one is a little dangerous. In our case, we have UI compositions on sprites in the scene that are tagged editor only. Those sprites end up pushing a lot of memory into the scene if they were accidentally disabled.
There is too much risk for human error to push extra memory into the scene and app. Without this fix, we really can't trust the EditorOnly tag for content in our scene. That was a nice feature. It would be nice to have back.

This is very annoying. Our company has to have a special prebuild process to destroy disabled EditorOnly objects. There are probably lots of people out there that don't even realize this is a problem and are unaware they are wasting memory on device with disabled EditorOnly objects.
