@bshankar I guess play services provides a set of common libs which need not be included when distributed from their channel, while obviously fdroid doesn't
@kskarthik @bshankar Play Services are not FOSS, so they can't be a dependency for any app in F-Droid.
@fdroidorg Thanks for your reply! Since play services cant be a dependency do you have to add something to replace it's functionality that increases the app size in f-droid compared to play store?
@bshankar Depends on the actual NEED. There are 3-4 common paths that we see: 1. Remove the NEED, maybe it wasn't that important anyway 2. Replace Google Push with #UnifiedPush 3. Replace Play Services with #microG 4. Replace the camera/QR lib with a FOSS one.
@bshankar @fdroidorg Play store uses app bundles to optimize the apk for the device
