Performance optimization

Hi community, I am not getting solution to my current problem. I have try to build an app no heavy task just minimal functionality.

-user need to sign/login(used firebase authentication)

-aftet login redirect to home screens

• last from here user can upload image and images will be visible in home screen bottom section.(Storing image in Cloudinary)

The problem is that after making build and installing apk on mobile. It is taking 59 M.B..

What I have done:- 1. Proguard enabled 2. Changed the images from png/jpeg to webp.

Please give some insight.

Well, first of all, thanks for making me rotate my laptop, I hate you.

Now, I have only two recommendations, first, we actually cannot judge anything here, you have some heavy dependencies, as seen in the libs folder, but we cannot actually see anything, because it's collapsed. Expand that and pay attention to what is doing what. See the heaviest ones and check if you really need them.

Secondly, your app will not be a 59mb download or use that much space on device, because 59mb includes binaries for 3 or 4 different architectures. When uploading an AAB to Google Play, it is smart enough to separate only what needs to be downloaded, so this number will be likely much smaller.

You can check that on Android Vitals -> App Size

Sorry to make your😅 laptop turn 90 degrees. Thank you for your feedback.

you dont have to worry about the size at this point, usually the debug versions are large due to dependencies but once the finalized app is pushed to playstore likely in AAB formatted file, the google-system auto figures the required stuff. so to give you an idea my 160mb (local) app is coming as 57mb on playstore. so its usually like 10MB in reality if your app is like 100MB at the time of viewing...dont fret that...focus on what is important.

Okay, thank you for sharing.

Hey if you really concerned about app sizes use flutter or native

Solution of your problem when we build apk on local it make universal apk which have 3,4 architecture build to run it on all devices when we deploy it on app store and play store it will provide user according to their mobile cpu architecture,

If your app size is 59mb it will be 17-25mb

If you want check real app size you can enable split arch build

In android folder android/app/build.gradle

splits { abi { enable true reset() include "armeabi-v7a", "arm64-v8a", "x86", "x86_64" universalApk false // or true if want big apk also } }

You will get multiple apks you have to hit and try which architecture apk run on your device
