Hi guys, have you noticed an increase of .apk size? A simple app with 4 screens (UI in compose) exports an .apk with size of ~45mb while iOS 4mb. Have the table been turned? 😛

It's something else, unrelated to Compose, Multiplatform or even Kotlin. You can use the apk analyzer in Android Studio (or just drag n drop the apk into the editor) to see what's taking up space.

nailed it, thanks for the suggestion. I never thought google fonts were the one to blame.

Is it? There's something called downloadable fonts that allow your app to share fonts with other apps and not have them bundled on a fresh install to avoid slow download. That said, I personally don't customize the font as much as possible since defaults are fine: leads to smaller app, less chance of mid-download failure or give up.

Yup, this one: https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Noto+Sans+SC?query=noto+sans+sc

Nope, it's just that Noto supports every possible character, not just Latin: Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Cyrillic…

ok. I’ll try it, thanks 🙂

Just search for "Android downloadable fonts". This font is pretty common, other apps might need it, so better to share it, as is possible 🙂
