Feature Android Split Build

Support Android

Currently android apk build is about 62Megabyte.

This is ok for modern android devices but not for my old android-10 which is always running out of internal memory.

When looking into the android generated apk file with a zip tool there are currently 4 libs one for each supported processor *arm64-v8a, armeabi-v7a x86 and x86_64

if there where one apk for each* supported processor the apk size could be reduced to 30 Megabyte.

The effort does not seem to be really justified by 32 MB - I’m sure there are better places to look for wasted storage, but of course there could be other good reasons for splitting.

just delete the apk after installation.

The files are still present on the phone. But I also agree that it’s not worth the effort.
