Hi @bnfmeetings,

Thanks for using Zoom SDK. The Ionic SDK contains both Android SDK and the iOS SDK. If your app is only available on Android, you may delete the iOS SDK in the plugin library folder. For Android SDK, you may also configure the gradle file and add abiFilter to compile with the CPU ABI that you supports.

Thanks!

This solution solved the heavy size issue for me. The build is now 80 mb from 140 mb.

Apple has reduced the general size of apps in iOS 15. You can now set the size of apps from 80 to 140 MB app.
