I am reaching out regarding a critical blocker that is preventing me from publishing my Android application to the Google Play Store. After integrating the Zoom Android Meeting SDK version 6.5.1.31081 into my application, the app size has significantly increased beyond Google Play Store’s acceptable limits.
Current Situation:
Zoom Android Meeting SDK Version: 6.5.1.31081
APK Size After Integration: 330 MB
AAB (Android App Bundle) Size: 336 MB
Google Play Store Upload Limit: 200 MB (maximum size for direct upload)
Impact: Unable to upload or publish the app to Google Play Store
Detailed Problem:
Prior to integrating the Zoom Meeting SDK, my application was well within the size constraints required by Google Play Store. However, after adding the SDK version 6.5.1.31081, the app size has increased dramatically, pushing it far beyond the 200 MB threshold that Google Play Store allows for app uploads.
This issue is currently blocking our production release and preventing us from:
Publishing new versions of the app to existing users
Onboarding new users through the Play Store
Meeting our business commitments and timelines
What I’m Looking For:
I need comprehensive guidance and solutions from the Zoom team to resolve this app size issue. Specifically, I would appreciate:
Official recommendations from Zoom on how to reduce the SDK footprint in Android applications
Best practices for integrating the Zoom Android Meeting SDK while maintaining acceptable app sizes
SDK optimization techniques specific to the Zoom Meeting SDK
Alternative SDK configurations or lite versions, if available
Code-level optimizations or configuration settings that can help reduce the final app size
Build configuration recommendations specific to Zoom SDK integration
Any official documentation or guides addressing app size optimization with Zoom SDK
Additional Technical Information:
Development Environment: Android Studio
Build System: Gradle
