APK to large for App Store and software distribution (Custom Client 24.7.1)

[robert_hunger]

Hi APK- Expertes 

We have created an MDK custom client in version 24.7 (Android) but have the problem of distributing it to the devices. The size of the APK is about 240 MB. Our distribution software and App Store allow a max. size of 100 MB or Bundle of 150 MB. Is there a practical way to make the app smaller or remove unnecessary libraries?

thx. Robert

The following links might help

 In addition to the information in the links you can perform the following steps to reduce the size:

1. Edit the AndroidManifest.xml file and set the parameter android:extractNativeLibs to true
2. Remove MDK extensions you don't use
3. Edit the app.gradle file to remove architectures from abi filters (for example x86 and x86_64). Alternatively, build 1 apk per architecture
