# How to reduce APK size after adding the Meeting SDK to your project

<!-- WARNING: THIS FILE WAS AUTOGENERATED! DO NOT EDIT! -->

Since our SDK contains NDK code, it must be built individually for all
CPU architectures to satisfy each ABI type. As a result, adding the SDK
to your project may have the unintended consequence of drastically
increasing your APK size. Below are a couple of steps you can take to
mitigate a significant portion of this increase.

## Applying ABI filters

If you know that you will not need to support certain CPU types, you can
filter them out in your app's **build.gradle** file. To do so, add the
following block within the **defaultConfig**:

```java
ndk {
    abiFilters 'x86', 'x86_64' // Do not build for x86 & x86_64 CPUs
}
```

Doing this for all CPU architectures you do not wish to support can
greatly reduce the size of the SDK's files.

## Do not extract native libraries

Another step you can take to reduce the size of the SDK is to set the
following attribute in your **AndroidManifest.xml**:

```java
<application
    extractNativeLibs='false'
```
