I’ve asked for help in the general group but most people didnt get it work as well.
Im having a huge problem ridiculous apk size of my simple app. I used @markosko nativescript filter to reduce the app to 14MB from 17.2MB, even nativescript-snapshot couldn't help still 17MB for release version.
I tried using the ABI split sample in the nativescipt documentation but what I noticed is that it’s trying to split but the glade is using same name for all the apks so I came up with this in my app.glade
def tnsBuildMultipleApks=true;
android {
defaultConfig {
generatedDensities = []
applicationId = "com.maliyo.oneclick"
versionCode Integer.parseInt("" + "1" + "0")
}
aaptOptions {
additionalParameters "--no-version-vectors"
}
if (Boolean.valueOf(tnsBuildMultipleApks)) {
splits {
abi {
enable true
reset()
include 'armeabi', 'armeabi-v7a', 'x86', 'mips'
universalApk true
}
}
}
}
def getDate() {
def date = new Date()
def formattedDate = date.format('yyyyMMdd')
return formattedDate
}
// map for the version code that gives each ABI a value
ext.versionCodes = [
'F0F1F2X86Debug':1, 'F0F1F2ArmeabiDebug':2, 'F0F1F2Armeabi-v7aDebug':3, 'F0F1F2MipsDebug':4,
'F0F1F2X86Release':1, 'F0F1F2ArmeabiRelease':2, 'F0F1F2Armeabi-v7aRelease':3, 'F0F1F2MipsRelease':4
]
// For each APK output variant, override versionCode with a combination of
// ABI APK value * 100 + defaultConfig.versionCode
android.applicationVariants.all { variant ->
// assign different version code for each output
variant.outputs.each { output ->
if (output.outputFile != null && output.outputFile.name.endsWith('.apk')) {
println("******************************************************")
println(output);
println(output.getVariantOutputData().getFullName())
if (Boolean.valueOf(tnsBuildMultipleApks)) {
def file = output.outputFile
// version at the end of each built apk
//output.outputFile = new File(file.parent, file.name.replace(".apk", "-" + android.defaultConfig.versionName + "-" + getDate() + ".apk"))
output.outputFile = new File(file.parent, file.name.replace(".apk", "-" + output.getVariantOutputData().getFullName() + "-" + getDate() + ".apk"))
output.versionCodeOverride =
//(assd++) * 100
project.ext.versionCodes.get(output.getVariantOutputData().getFullName(), 0) * 100
+ android.defaultConfig.versionCode
}
}
}
}

Fine, it splits but I think because I hacked the filename at output the adb couldn't find one to push the apk to the device or emulator due to the naming pattern, maybe, just saying apk not found.
I tried to manually send the appropriate apk to the device via USB, it app installed successfully but it crashes after splashscreen saying metadata/treeNodeStream.dat could not be loaded
@plamen-petkov thanks so much for your contribution, I agree with you that it work fine, when you build one after another changing the abi filter. But with this in my app.gradle, I managed to build multiple apks successfully and tested and OK.
but is like the the tns is only pushing appname-debug.apk or appname-release.apk to the adb. I can toggle this splitting off with tnsBuildMultipleApks and maybe when Im still testing I can turn it off and use tns run android and when I want to make final build and it turn it one again as it works fine with tns build android --release ....

This work so well for me now, both generating apks and tns run android runs fine now, thanks.
