My app ships a 22.9 MB emoji font to draw 28 emoji. It’s bundled on purpose, so the icons look identical on every phone instead of Samsung doing its own thing. Fine goal. But it’s the whole font, 1485 codepoints, sitting in the base module so every single user downloads all of it. Subset it to the ones I actually use and it’s 1.93 MB.Most of what was left after subsetting turned out to be the SVG table. Google ships every glyph twice, once as COLR and once as SVG, and Skia only draws the COLR one, so 6.1 MB of it was duplicate artwork nothing would ever read.Also learned to measure the thing that matters. Uncompressed it’s a 21 MB saving, which sounds great, but the font compresses inside the APK so the real number is 7.30 MB to 1.01 MB, and the APK went 67.6 to 61.0. Still good, just not the number I wanted to write. Separately, my last release failed twice for reasons that had nothing to do with me: CI tracked Flutter stable, stable moved to 3.47, and it raised the minimum Gradle and then the minimum AGP. Pinned CI to the version I actually build with.
