I have little problem, my APK file is to big (300mb), max 45mb. I can't make the app any smaller. So I want to make one main APK file and a secondary expansion file, is this possible in Livecode? If so, how?
Any help is welcome,
Chris

Hi Chris,
What is taking up all the space? images in the app? or something else?

Most size is taken by images and there is one video.

Hi Chris,
There are a few ways of adding content after the application has been downloaded. Have you looked into this?
EDIT: The mind set here is to make one apk but have it collect it's images/video/content from an outside source. At 300 mb I hope you have the "Prefer External Storage" checked.
