Hi,

I noticed that apps which I built using RhoStudio 5.x (I think it was 5.5) resulted in .apk files of size approximately 6-7 MB. However, after switching over to the 6.1.16 version of RhoStudio, the files are now in the region of 25-30MB.

Any clues what might be causing this?

Regards,
Daníel

Actually you can just unzip target APK and check which parts are large.

In one app I'm using the following extensions:

- rhoconnect-client
- uri
- barcode
- printing
- printing_zebra
- hardwarekeys
- mspec

and in another:

- rhoconnect-client
- uri
- barcode
- printing
- printing_zebra

When I unzip my .apk, the largest file seems to be librhodes.so in lib/armeabi. It is close to 60MB unzipped.

Debug one contains a lot of additional information.
