Build and APK size

Expo Development Tools
1

Hello everyone,

I started using Expo a couple of days ago and I made a simple app, and built it with expo-cli for Android. I’ve noticed that the APK size is really big (like 60mb).

I checked out the build log and It seems that all the Expo SDK packages are included in the final build even if I’m not using them.

Is it how it works or am I doing something wrong?

Hi @erbuka

Please see the following document: expo.fyi/managed-app-size

Short answer is “use EAS Build”, which co-incidentally is generally available as of today.

All right,thanks a lot, that worked like a charm :smile: The bundle shrinked to 20 mb
