Tell the apk file size

This is due to having codes that is compatible with number of Android versions from 5 or 6 onwards and the number of supporting code libraries with it.

It’s 177mb

Can you check what is your project size in Thunkable?

Do you have a lot of images as assets in the project?

@muneer where can we check project size in Thunkable

It is 0.9mb, and it has 9 videos and some 10 animations.

In the Project Detail Page

So you should have APK (Android) size of about 40mb +/-

Thanks

how large are the videos?

Each video’s around 5-7mins.

Are they part of the project assets?
If you are running the video in the app from a URL then those videos will not contribute the app size. If in the other hand, you added them to project files/assets then you should expect an e=increase in the app size.

What are the total size of these video in your computer?

Yes, they are as Project Assets. The size varies from 10-25mb, is there any way I can reduce the file size.

The app size will start at around 35 to 37mb add to it 9 videos each of min 10 (90mb) this takes it to at least 125mb.

So you are getting the expected size.
