Good time of day.
I would like to ask in connection with a significant increase in the size of the final APK file:

• Are there any plans to develop an additional version of this application that will not have the corresponding features/components that increased the size of the APK file?

Such an additional version would be useful for Android Go devices, I assume

It can be optimized for smaller size but it isn't worth it in my opinion. Most android devices come with over 128GB of storage, even the lower end.
