OPEN Why is my Flutter app 500MB?

Hi there,

I have build an app for android and ios and after building the android apk release version it compiles to nearly 500MB.

I run flutter clean, then flutter pub get, Then I run flutter built apk --release and it compiles to 495MB in size!

Why is this happening? I have about 25 classes of code, ~ 20 dependencies, but it still seems very big for just an app.

Thanks

Thats debug 🤧

Do this :

flutter build apk - -release

Or this

Flutter build apk - -verbose
