I’m developing my first Phonegap app for Android and I come across something that scared me a lot. The application, which so far has only interface, nothing business rule has increased its size drastically. Initially it was only 3mb, however, I only did the favor of uploading the application to the company’s Bitbucket (git) and when I went to emulate it then it became absurd. 3mb went to 220mb. They would know what it can be, remembering that the application has no operating business rule, only 4 screens created with Html5, js and css.

Thanks in advance.

Did you clone the whole folder straight from bitbucket?

If this happens it takes ALL the git reference, that’s probably the cause...

Try this command to get only the files:

git archive --format zip --output /full/path/to/zipfile.zip master

Then you unzip and see how many megas they gave... I believe that’s all it is.

  • Actually, the problem is in the git folder. As I did the first commit of the application, it created the . git directory and included it in the project. That was the cause, now I’m ignoring the . git folder in apk creation and the problem has been solved. Thanks for your attention.

    For those who have the same problem, just right-click on the project > Properties > Resource > Resource Filters > Add ... Adds the folder . git and selects Folders, so the problem is solved.
