Pushe library increases signed app's size

[razaghimahdi]

my apk's size (by proguard) is Almost 5mb, but when I added pushe library size became 15mb(sometimes 10mb), how to fix that?

15 MB doesn't seem sensible to me since there aren't much code in Pushe + All its deps. 10MB does though.

There's nothing to fix. If you have nothing in common with Pushe dependencies, you'll get a larger pack at the end.

Libraries otherthan Pushe that will be added to classpath are quite large:

• Firebase-messaging
• WorkManager
• A few AndroidX jetpack such as life-cycle related ones
• Huawei PushKit (if you add :hms module for huawei)
• RxJava2

Together they make the final pack quite larger (specially for an almost empty APK)

If there's gonna be a remake to the project, it will be much smaller. However, next release will only be bugFix and the size issue still remains intact.

Update to this. Since deletion of RxJava2 from the library is really complex and time-consuming, after some minor updates to the library I'll be working on a solution to reduce the final AAR size of all modules.

Unfortunately, I can not specify a deadline for now. Will notify in the issue as soon as I have new updates.

hi again, any update?

[mahdi-malv]

Not yet. The focus is on automation development and the improvements have lower priority. So the process is in paused state temporarily.
