App Shrinking in MAUI

Question

Currently the size of my android APK built using MAUI is 105 MB which includes external libraries as well , I read about the shrinking the size of APK but it did not work as expected,i was able to shrink apk built from Xamarin to around 69 MB , is there any way where we could achieve the same?

Hello,

For additional guidance on minimizing your app's size, consider consulting the official blog post App Size Improvements for optimal practices.

Additionally, during release, you have the option to decrease app size by disabling AOT (Ahead-of-Time compilation) through configuration file adjustments. However, be aware that this may entail a trade-off in performance.
