Android - Application Size is High for React Native Application

[prashant-1054]

We are using Cisco Native libraries in our existing project for audio & video calling. We are facing a size issue with the Native library. It increases the size by around ~350 on the initial application launch only. We are facing this issue in Native Android only.

Android application size increases in a below manner for our application:

1. App size on the play-store is around ~60 MB.

• As libraries are compressed in this stage.

2. After installation it is around ~200MB.

• As libraries are de-compressed in this stage.

3. After launch it is around ~350.

• As all Native libraries (.so files) are copied to the User data folder.

There might be a few possibilities by which we can reduce the size as below:

1. Cisco supports React Native
2. Cisco reduce the library size
3. Can we download the Cisco library on demand? which means for those users who are using our audio/video functionality we download the Cisco library runtime on their devices & provide our desired functionalities.

Can you please provide a suggestion or solution on how we can reduce our Android application size?

This needs to be addressed as soon as possible, as due to the higher size of the application on a device we are losing our customers...
