Will adding code as library increase the size of the App

I have an Android App named A. I create a new copy B with the same functionality but different package name. The difference between both the apps will be usage of different AD Network.

For Eg-

A has three features X,Y,Z

B has two features X,Y.

Now if there is some issue in X feature I will have to change the code for X in both A and B but if I plan to divide them into library I will have to change the code only once and update the A and B apps with the new libraries.

But will using this kind of setup will it increase the size of the app, OR will it be the same as if I use the code manually.

EDIT: Is there any other dis-advantage for adding code as library?

Hard to tell,but yes in general adding libraries to app increase the size of the app ofcourse, but in your case it's definitly a good apraoch in favour of code refactoring, and i don't see any inconveniences of using a library
