Library size is huge about blinkid-android HOT 6 CLOSED

Hi, BlinkID is native library and native code is rather large because it needs to be compiled separately for each supported Android ABI.

You can reduce the size of your app by following our app size reducing guidelines.

from blinkid-android.

this isn't a good option for us, as we are not deploying the apk to the playstore. any other solutions?

from blinkid-android.

There is still one possible solution: in your app's build.gradle under android section, add following statement:

packagingOptions {
    exclude 'lib/arm64-v8a/libBlinkID.so'
    exclude 'lib/x86/libBlinkID.so'
    exclude 'lib/x86_64/libBlinkID.so'
}

You can't reduce your app more than that. Note: this will remove support for Intel devices completely and on ARM64 devices (like SGS6, Nexus 5X and most new devices) performance will not be optimal due to using ARM7 binary in emulation mode.

Hi @k0shk0sh,

can we close this issue?

from blinkid-android.

I would just like to add that new release has more detailed documentation on reducing application size by eliminating CPU ABIs that are not required. You can check it here.

Please go ahead, thanks
