I have used expo to create a simple barcode scanner .When I generated the apk for the same .The apk size is extremely large compared to android studio.
this is explained in this expo documentation.
At the moment, expect the smallest APK to be ~25MB.

Using Expo Bare Workflow
Expo SDK Version: 40.0.1
Platform: iOS
We are trying to build an iOS AppClip which has a size constraint of 10MB.
While creating the IPA file we see expo vector icons are packaged along, which is increasing the size by around 4MB which is making a big impact on the size constraint. We want to exclude these assets specific to expo vector icons from the final binary. We are now stuck here to figure out a way to exclude these and cut down the size, any help from the community is highly appreciated!
Even the simplest app built on EXPO sdk v36 is almost 50MB. Is there a way to reduce the size ?.
I was working with EXPO for some time and until sdk v32, the size was not that big and then it all changed. I expected a solution at least in their new version.
do expo build: android --type app-bundle to get an android app bundle, this bundle will be optimized by Google for different android versions and are smaller in the end.
When expo updates its react-native version to 0.61, using Hermes should decrease your app size significantly and also decrease TTI by up to 2s. I was at React Native EU conference so this is the latest info.
Hope it helps .feel free for doubts
I am having an issue where after building expo with SDK 34 which is currently the latest release it has a bigger app size than most of the sdks before it
I was using SDK 29 before that which output android app size 19 MB
without any additional things after upgrading app size is 45 MB
I am currently building the app normally using this command
expo build:android
also I have tried to make an Android app bundle but it was 47 MB and I used this command
expo build:android -t app-bundle
How to lower app size in expo or should I eject ?
Thanks in advance
Refer issue https://github.com/expo/expo/issues/5167
The size increase is due to adding FaceDetector feature in SDK 34.
Not able to make those unused modules optional yet. (answer at 08/2019)
The higher the Expo version, the larger the number of modules for dependencies. Your adding of the sauce is not so affected. Two to five megabytes?
It is most desirable that you try to reduce the size of the app after turning it into a stand-alone app.
To create a stand-alone app and reduce the size of the app, see this link.
Here is the versions I am using
The problem is the project I created using react-native init AddisMereja is of size 20MB.
It does not have anything.
I believe you are talking about the size of the apk file that is generated. If so you can try using app bundle and submit the app bundle to google play store which will handle it according to users device as the apk that is generated by default contains apps for different architectures but you will end up using only one of them.
This blog post by Krzysztof Magiera explains the process better.
Your app size is descries after make a release apk Or sign apk.
I am new for android. Recently upload an apk as alpha version on play store. now complete all testing in alpha .Now i want final alpha version as a production apk. It is possible?
Sign your app with a release key, check the Manually sign an APK for instruction. Anyway's the step-by-step instruction to finally publish it in Google play is found in Launch checklist.
