Built APK and included SO's 17x bigger?

Obsess

Hi, I'm having trouble figuring out what I'm doing wrong here (I assume it's pretty simple).

I've noticed APKs I'm building on 6.2.4 are massive. When looking into the APK, files like libQt6Quick_arm64-v8a.so are ~100MB and when I compare to APKs I've built in the past the same file is ~6MB.

I don't recall what version of Qt I used to build the APK I'm comparing with right now. But, I think it was still one of the 6.2 releases.

I am building retail with signing.

Did a setting in QtCreator get flipped that I'm missing?

Thanks for your help.

More on this, looks like this is specific to 6.2.4 and was possibly an oversight when the binaries were built for this release:

Qt6Quick_arm64-v8a.so

6.2.0 -> 5,927,208   bytes
6.2.1 -> 5,929,872   bytes
6.2.2 -> 5,930,648   bytes
6.2.3 -> 5,971,968   bytes
6.2.4 -> 103,504,200 bytes

Downgrading to 6.2.3.

@Obsess check if you installed that android build with debug symbols.

(I'm assuming you installed from the qt install app and are building using QtCreator).
