deployment size

[frank]

Hi telerik team,

I wonder how it is possible to decrease the size of the app package, I build with telerik ui. When I create the package for android, the size is >80MB.I tried different linker settings, which in many scenarios resulted in that the app was no longer working.

The biggest additional package is the "skiasharp" package, which I think I dont need. Currently I am using calendar , autocomplete, zip, sidedrawer. Do you have as list of the assemblies / settings which are needed for these comomponents only?

Best regards,

Frank

Hello Frank,

You can find each control's dependencies on the control's Getting started page.

1 - To start, go here and expand the "Controls" node in the left column
2 - Find a control that you're using and drill down to the Getting Started node.
3 - Select the Required Telerik Assemblies article

As an example, I'll pick the BusyIndicator. Here's where you'd find the link:




Do this for each of the UI for Xamarin controls that you're using and you'll know exactly what you need to use.


Separated NuGet Packages

I highly recommend checking out the new Telerik Nuget packages, you'll be able to pick only what you need and keep the package size as small as possible. Go here to see how to use the Telerik NuGet server.

Hello Frank,

I'm glad I was able to help! The separate NuGet packages are new, made available in R2 2017.

Here are just a few new things in that release:

- No need to declare Renderers or call TelerikForms.Init() anymore
- New controls (BusyIndicator) and control features (e.g. DayView)
- iOS installers and new VS templates

You can read more about the R2 2017 release here.
