Why is the File module from the MIP SDK not available for mobile platforms (iOS / Android)?

Question

We develop clients for working with documents for different platforms. The macOS client uses the MIP SDK to encrypt office documents. When the need arose to encrypt documents on mobile platforms, it suddenly turns out that the MIP SDK for mobile platforms does not contain the key File module. Why is it missing and are there any plans to add it? If yes, in what time frame?

@Даниил Куприянов Thank you for reaching out to us, I have reached out to our team regarding your ask - Why is the File module from the MIP SDK not available for mobile platforms (iOS / Android)?

Below is the response which i got from my team -

The parsing library and dependency are too large. Libgsf + dependencies adds something like 30MB to the SDK size. Mobile developers won't use it. 

Let me know if you have any further questions, feel free to post back.
