Possible to build LC stack for Android Go ?

Post by Olaf Hamann » Fri Feb 05, 2021 5:25 pm

Hi all,
is stack deployment to an Android 8.1 'Go' version as easy as building an app as standalone for e.g. Android 8 ?

I see cheap smartphone on the market with 'Go' variants of Android.

Regards,
Olaf

I didn't know that. Do you know if there is a size limitation for apps? The Go version is supposed to be optimized for trimmed-down apps.

My Daughter had an GO version before, and it simply worked.
Comparing the sizes of apps made by LC and the ones I sometimes see on Google Play, they're not so big. And as far as I know all on Google Play should run on Go.
On this link you find some details https://developer.android.com/google-pl ... go-edition.
Stating that a normal app should be under 40MB and games under 65MB. Biggest for myself i've seen created with LC is between 10 and 15MB. But this also depends on what you pack with it.
And an app should be fully operational within 5 seconds.
