I would appreciate it if anyone could create an uptodate docker image to automate the whole process as this issue is really discouraging alot of guys from using Nativescript. |

I got it to work but man, the apk size is too large for even something as simple as a blank template. I don't know why but really why make the apk size this large(90 mbs +) yet most android devices have limited storage space. I will keep this open until some one explains why apk size is that big. Now i will be sticking with java for android. Reason for wanting to use Nativescript was to maintain high performance while maximizing development speed also the fact that my runs javascripts games would have even it easier to call the native api |

Great question as it’s why this work has been taking place: You’ll be able to choose any number of JS engines to fit your app size needs soon. There will be more information out about this with 8.9 this month. @ammarahm-ed |

Hi, you can enable abi splits https://old.docs.nativescript.org/angular/tooling/publishing/android-abi-split#enable-abi-split to reduce the size of your apk. NativeScript android app pack v8 which is around 15-20MB in size for each architecture. Right now you are building universal apk which packs everything for all archs making the apk around 90MBs. In reality when you release your app to the android playstore as an aab, the final release apk will be much smaller in size. |
