Realm adding extra size to my apk

Question

The initial size of my apk was 2.3 MB before adding Realm library, after adding the same, the apk size increased to 10.61 MB, is it possible to reduce the size, if yes how? if n

Answer 1

It is possible to reduce the Apk size, but first the quickest most immediate way to do this is to remove the packages in realm API that your application is not using or targeting. This way your apk size will decline significantly, also try compressing any resources and multimedia your app is using.
A more extreme solution is to integrate with firebase and let some of your content load into the app in real time and not on deployment.
