Unbelievably overbloated APK files since update “1.21.0” #605

Describe the іssue Starting with the 1.21.0 update, all types (ARMv7, x86, etc.) of APK files received an incredibly disproportionate increase in size (almost 3 times more) relative to the new minor features obtained.

Expected behavior Corresponding optimization of the size of the final APK files, which was perfectly implemented up to version 1.20.0. This is very useful for budget devices with only 16 or 8 GB of internal memory.

Additional context I have a personal example of a budget device with 8 GB of internal memory (which is almost fully filled with a minimal set of necessary apps), which is my main mobile device.

People ask for feature. I implement them.

I've been asked multiple time for better quality downloads. To do so I need to dwonalod the audio and the video separately then merge them together. This is done with FFMPEG. Which is why the APK size increased.

I currently don't have much bandwidth to allocate to the app development, I have even less to implement and maintain different flavours of the app.

If you have a better solution for the audio / video problem. Please contribute and submit a PR.
