[Interest] Qt6: Android: huge APK ?

[Alexandru Croitor]

Hi,

Which host platform are you using? Also consider trying with a newer Qt version than 6.3.1.

At least on macOS, the libQt6Qml library sizes are ok for me.

ls -lh ../6.1.3/android_armv7/lib/libQt6Qml_armeabi-v7a.so
-rwxr-xr-x  1 alex  staff   2.6M Aug 27  2021 ../6.1.3/android_armv7/lib/libQt6Qml_armeabi-v7a.so

ls -lh ../6.2.4/android_armv7/lib/libQt6Qml_armeabi-v7a.so
-rwxr-xr-x  1 alex  staff   2.7M Mar  7 20:24 ../6.2.4/android_armv7/lib/libQt6Qml_armeabi-v7a.so

ls -lh ../6.3.1/android_armv7/lib/libQt6Qml_armeabi-v7a.so
-rwxr-xr-x  1 alex  staff   2.7M Jun  6 21:04 ../6.3.1/android_armv7/lib/libQt6Qml_armeabi-v7a.so
