Reduce APK File Size

There are a few ways to reduce your APK file size.

Exclude FFprobe

If you do not use FFprobe in your project it is recommended that you remove the FFprobe library files from your APK build. To do this, add the following packagingOptions block in your app module Gradle.

android {
    ...
    aaptOptions {
        ignoreAssetsPattern "!*ffprobe"
    }
}

Exclude FFmpeg

Similarly, you should exclude FFmpeg library files if you only use FFprobe in your project. To do this, add the following packagingOptions block in your app module Gradle.

android {
    ...
    aaptOptions {
        ignoreAssetsPattern "!*ffmpeg"
    }
}
