Android Question compiled apk file size problem

[hamid rza]

Hello
i have a simple firebase project and when i compile it the apk file size is 6.7 mb but it shouldn't be like this
i unzipped the apk and there is two classes.dex file and thats increase the size
i think the compiled apk size should maximum 2 mb not 6.7 mb

The dex files are the compiled SDK + code. Firebase is not a small dependency, though 7mb is not too much these days.

As G releases new SDK with new policies, expect bloated APK.
But keep in mind you upload AAB at GStore and it itself determines and creates the APK for the device to download, so size will vary device to device.

Thanks Erel
there is no way to decrease the size?

Only if you remove Firebase.
