Hi there! I just finished my first app in Thunkable – with basic screen transitions, content variables, and a connection to firebase. That’s it! When putting the apk file to the production track in the Google Play store, I get a warning that the apk is not optimized & has unused code. I can’t resolve this issue. And I don’t even need all the permissions which are stated there, and most of my assets are located in Firebase. So 31 MB seems a big file size indeed… Result: I can’t release the app. Can someone help me out? Did someone had a similar problem? Thanks in advance!
