  1. First of All You Need to Tinify the Resource images Tinyfy, I suggest you to use this link to tinify your image assets.

  2. The Second thing after the above Step, Convert all Image Assets to Webp Format, in order to convert to webp you need to right click on image asset and then at the Bottom of option there will be optionj convert to webp.

  3. Remove Unnecessary classes and libraries to Reduce the Size.

  4. Apply Proguard Rules to Reduce Size

  5. In Order to remove delete x86_64 you just need to do is, just add this under Android Tag in app level gradle File

    splits { abi { enable true reset() include 'armeabi-v7a' universalApk false } } Split APk

The main reason for your app to be that big is because of all the native libraries which you have in your project. I guess they are included by Jitsi Android SDK. I guess you are not creating App Bundle but building directly an apk via Android Studio, that's why all versions of native libraries are included in the same apk. By using App Bundle format to build your app you should lower a lot your app's size, because it will create apk files only for the specific configurations, so every architecture will have it's own apk with included native libraries for only that architecture.

Once you have the App Bundle file you can create your apk's in order to install to a device using bundletool. With a command like this:

bundletool build-apks --bundle=/PathToMyABB/app-bundle.aab --output=/PathToMyAPKS/my-apks.apks
