Large APK size after installing package

[Tymofiev]

Description After adding package to project Android APK size increases from ~90 MB to ~146 MB. Does not depend on external libraries as I am using "min" pack.

Expected behavior Bundle size should only grow by couple MB instead of ~50 providing zero external libraries are used.

Screenshots Without package After installing it Comparing these two APKs

Other As I understand it's because of this shared objects, but can I decrease the size somehow?

min package is around 25 MB and each architecture takes ~ 6 MB. It cannot increase the size that much. I suggest you check logcat output and find the mobile-ffmpeg package loaded. It will tell you whether your app uses min package or not.

Same for me as well, it increased almost 25 Mb than previous version:

Before My APK size: 20Mb

After update to 0.5.2 : 45Mb

Thanks for answering, so there is no way to decrease the size, exclude some files etc.? As you see on the screenshot, libs take a bit space for every architecture

P.S. Building Android App Bundle seems to resolve this issue for now, results with around 60-70MB in my case

If min package is not small enough for you then you can try building your own .so libraries. They come from mobile-ffmpeg project. There is a wiki page called How to decrease binary size under the project which explains how the binary size can be decreased further.

I thought there is a list of those I can't exclude this way, but if I am able to do that - will try it as soon as .aab file gets too large. Thank you!
