Increasing the apk size limit

I was trying to reach out to dev@clover.com. As there is no reply, posting it here.


We are planning to release a feature update to our application by integrating with an SDK which implements inbuilt processing algorithms enabling the app to work in offline mode.

Due to this SDK, the app size has been increased to ~160MB. We see that clover has a limit of app upload size of 50MB.


Is there a way to increase the app size limit?

Make sure you give this a read:

https://developer.android.com/topic/performance/reduce-apk-size

Specifically, make sure you are using minify in your build parameters. Usually APKs get large from assets. 160MB of code (that's actually being used) is a little unusual.

Thanks for the reply Jeffrey, Yes we did all the required enhancements already.

The ability of the SDK to provide complex biometric features in offline mode has lead to the increase in apk size. Hence we don't have an option but to ask for an increase in the app size limit. Thanks.

I found your email thread and made a comment so hopefully this can get some attention. We will need to continue to work it there though and not on this forum.

Unfortunately, this is a special request that needs to be handled individually by another team. I expect that is why it is taking so long. I can take a look at your email request and see if I can get an update.

It appears that the size limit imposed by Clover for app uploads, at 50MB, poses a challenge for integrating the SDK with inbuilt processing algorithms into our application, as it now exceeds the limit at approximately 160MB. To address this, we may need to explore options such as optimizing the SDK or considering alternative platforms that accommodate larger app sizes, ensuring seamless integration while meeting size constraints.

Clover limits app size to 50MB, but your update with offline mode is 160MB. Here's what to do:


Make it smaller:


Code Splitting: Break your app into parts. Upload the core app (under 50MB) to Clover. Users can then download extra features for offline use when needed.


Cloud Processing: If possible, use cloud processing for offline tasks instead of having everything built-in. This keeps the app size under the limit.


Contact Clover Support:


Check their website for official support channels (tickets, forums). They might have info on app size limits or workarounds.

If you want to get modified versions of latest games and apps apks then https://platinapk.com is recomended website.

To address the issue of your application size exceeding the Clover app upload limit, here are a few steps and suggestions:

  1. Contact Clover Support:

    • Since you haven't received a response from dev@clover.com, try reaching out through other official support channels. Visit Clover Developer Support and use any available contact methods such as support forms, live chat, or community forums.
  2. Optimize Your APK:

    • Before requesting an increase in the size limit, ensure that your APK is as optimized as possible. Consider using tools like ProGuard or R8 for code shrinking and optimization. You can also use Android App Bundles to reduce the size of the APKs delivered to users.
    • Remove any unused resources, compress images, and reduce the size of your assets.
  3. Split Your APK:

    • If feasible, consider splitting your APK into multiple APKs. This can be done using Android’s feature modules, which allows you to modularize your app and deliver parts of it on demand.
    • This approach can significantly reduce the initial download size and comply with the size limit.
  4. Requesting Size Limit Increase:

    • When you contact Clover Support, provide detailed information about why your app size has increased and how it benefits the users (e.g., offline functionality).
    • Clearly state the new size of your APK and request guidance or permission to upload a larger file.
    • It might also help to provide a timeline for when you need this increase and any supporting documentation from the SDK provider.

Increasing the APK size limit involves optimizing your app's assets and leveraging Android App Bundles to efficiently manage distribution. Compress images and code, and use external storage solutions to reduce overall size. Enhance your brand's visibility with branded pens, ideal for giveaways and corporate events. These practical items keep your logo in daily use, making them a powerful tool for creating lasting impressions and boosting brand recognition.

Unfortunately, Clover currently doesn't offer a way to increase the app size limit for uploads. 50MB seems to be the standard limit for their platform.

Here are some alternative approaches you can consider:

  1. Code Splitting: Explore code splitting techniques to break down your app into smaller modules. You can then upload the core functionality (under 50MB) as the main app and deliver the offline processing functionality as a separate downloadable module. This approach requires some development effort but allows users to access basic features without needing a large download.

  2. Cloud-based Processing: If the offline processing algorithms aren't critical for core functionality, consider moving them to a cloud server. The app could then communicate with the cloud server for processing even when offline. This approach reduces the app size and minimizes the impact on local device storage.

  3. Alternative SDK: Research if there are alternative SDKs with similar functionalities that offer a smaller footprint. This might be a viable option if the specific inbuilt algorithms aren't a core requirement.

  4. Contact Clover Sales: Consider reaching out to Clover's Sales team directly. In some cases, depending on the value proposition of your app and its potential benefit to their ecosystem, they might be able to offer special accommodations.
