  • I have solved the issue Make app lightweight.. #145
  • How I resolved it.
    • Firstly, release app app-release.apk wasn't being compiled after running flutter build apk or flutter build apk --release command in the terminal. It was constantly giving below error.
BUILD FAILED in 8s
[!] Your project requires a newer version of the Kotlin Gradle plugin.
    Find the latest version on https://kotlinlang.org/docs/gradle.html#plugin-and-versions, then update project/android/build.gradle:
    ext.kotlin_version = '<latest-version>'
    • Then, I saw a solution on StackOverFlow to delete the android folder in the project directory and run flutter create .
    • After that, flutter build apk or flutter build apk --release commands worked and gave an .apk file of 35 MB size
    • But, using flutter build apk --split-per-abi command also I got an .apk file of 28 MB size. I read about this command on this StackOverFlow Page 2nd Answer.
    • Then, I reduced the size of some images in assets folders like black.svg, onion.png, etc
    • At last, I got an .apk file of size 24.8 MB.
  • Hope this resolved the Issue Make app lightweight.. #145.

Hi @K123Ritesh,

In above mentioned comment, after running flutter create . after deleting the android folder, since the usual command for generating app-release.apk i.e. flutter build apk wasn't working, a new android folder was created which has default package name, default icon, etc.

But it appears shocking that even during testing the app after the default android folder was generated the app's icon didn't change and was the a\same as before.

Anyways, I will make sure this time and push further commits to resolve this matter.

Thank you.
