But i found that google has option to upload expansion files which allows to upload file of max size 2 GB as additional assets which is enough. So my question is i want my app assets like videos and documents to upload as expansion file. So what changes i have to make in the code that is downloaded from buzz touch so that app uses assets from expansion file instead of buzz touch created folders which contain assets? thanks Title Comments Hi all, My apk file is going more than 50 mb and google play has a limit of 50 mb.

Zoid66 Lost but trying Posts: 176 Reg: Oct 26, 2010 USA 1,760	11/14/12 06:02 AM (13 years ago) @wasqasnu I know this does not answer your question: I have not used the expansion files option yet. I try to keep the package as small as I can. A larger issue years ago: but still around is users downloads freezing.. Just questions before trying to get into the expansion files. Have you made sure all images are in a .png format? I have had luck with http://www.smushit.com I didn't even notice a different except with file size. :) Comments @wasqasnu I know this does not answer your question: I have not used the expansion files option yet.
