Android Question APK filesize suddenly 1Mb bigger

[sorex]

Yesterday I compiled a small update to one of my apps.

For some reason the APK file is suddenly 1Mb biggen than the previous compile.

The uncompressed classes.dex file even growed by 2.5Mb.

Is everything from firebase added by default these days even when only adding the 2 lines below to the manifest?


CreateResourceFromFile(Macro, FirebaseAnalytics.GooglePlayBase)
CreateResourceFromFile(Macro, FirebaseAdMob.FirebaseAds)

In the picture below you see the previous apk content and on the right the new one.

No. Note that adding these lines will not add anything to the APK.

It is possible that Firebase Analytics and AdMob dependencies grew in 1mb in the last year.

indeed, it could be that I ran the updater a few weeks ago when I was about to change the targets from API 26 to 28.
