@IzzySoft might be able too add it to his repo like Digilog TV, though the stream sources might need more thorough legal vetting aldrinzigmundv/digilogtv#1 (comment)

@ThreeDeeJay Unfortunately, size of the APKs (60+ MB) exceed the per-app-limit (30 MB) of the IzzyOnDroid repo 😢

[ThreeDeeJay]

Hmm, the app already seems to download done assets to work, so perhaps it could offload some more data to GitHub download or something 🤔

@IzzySoft @ThreeDeeJay After migrating from Cordova to Capacitor and using Rollup to bundle the files, among other changes, the APK size has now increased decreased to around ~38MB. It's challenging to reduce it further since the app requires capacitor-nodejs and Exoplayer. :/

size has now increased to around ~38MB.

Decreased you mean (it was around 60 MB before) – which is quite good, almost reducing it to half the size! But yes, still beyond the 30 MB limit unfortunately. And yeah, with NodeJS it's hard to even get a "hello world" below 10 MB I guess, which is sad. Not sure what can be done about that. I've heard LiquidCore can be used as alternative, but I have no idea what that would mean in terms of size (or if it would be 100% compatible and the switch easy).

Something else I found, though it won't help that much: the images in assets/public/nodejs/renderer/assets/images. I ran jpegoptim -m70 -s on the 2 background images. background-1920x1080.jpg went down from almost 500 kB to less than 45 kB, background-3840x2160.jpg from 350 to 120. So more than 600 kB size reduction together. Running pnquant on assets/public/nodejs/default_icon.png gave another 75 kB. You'd still sit around 37 MB then, though – unless LiquidCore would be able to achieve further reduction.

I guess you already strip symbols? And I'm no Node dev so I cannot tell, but maybe some of the hints from Node module size : See how I reduced it by 90% could help further?

Does anything prevent from adding Megacubo to the official f-droid repo?
