Android Question App bundle larger than 200 MB

[Timm Sodtalbers]

Hi! I get this error message when I try to publish a new version in the Google play console:
"Some function modules of your app bundle exceed the maximum download size for compressed content (200 MB). Reduce the size of the modules: base."

How can I solve this?

Need more information about your app to help.

How can I solve this?

Without a substantive example: a general comment based on the information in the error message - split the module base into smaller pieces

Check the Size for your Files folder.... Is it more than 100mb?

If you are using external Assets, Images, videos, I will advise you to compress them.

If you are keeping some items in the Files folder, please remove them because they will be packaged with your app when you are compiling.

The size of the Files folder is 261 MB and it contains about 5600 MP3 files. I am trying to compress them.
Google allows a maximum app bundle size of 4GB. How can I create asset packs to get around the 200 MB limit?

No need to compress. Put them on a server. When the app start, then you download them.

I have a similar app with over 800mb mp3s. They are all online, I only download the ones the user needed at a time and saved. So the next time, the user will not download that particular file again. And my apk is just 15mb.

Many thanks for your comments!
I have compressed the mp3 files so that the app bundle is now smaller than 200 MB.
