Reduce APK size #22

Closed NilsIrl closed 3 years ago

NilsIrl commented 3 years ago

The APK on F-droid is 50 MiB, that is really really big.

It would be nice if it was smaller.

Looking at it slightly more closely, the binary "libcroc.so" is there for 4 architectures (arm and x86 for both 32 and 64 bit each), if these were separated in separate APKs, each apk would be around 15 MB each.

I don't know if it possible to ship 4 different APKs on F-droid though.

I agree it would be nice, but after looking at the metadata build file for the one that does it I just don't see how I can do that the way fyne builds work. Plus I'd likely have to do manual pull requests against fdroid to get all the separate build versions, I prefer the automatic builds process.

Current v1.10.9 is at 119 MiB on F-Droid. That actually stopped me from installing it at the beginning.

I then installed it out of interest how big it would be at the end: on the smartphone it has 157 MiB.

I'm really sorry that I have to deinstall it now again to free up some space.

Besides that it's a great working app.
