Currently F-Droid only provides applications with a universal architecture, and it makes the size bigger than using a specific architecture. For example, an app called Musify, I prefer to download it from the github release because it has the specific arm64-v8a architecture rather than F-Droid which doesn’t include it.
So what do you guys think?
False take a look at VLC or Element or Conversations or etc
Which app are you concerned about?
Maybe it can be enabled there too
You’re right, I don’t know that. I know it’s probably only available from the developer themselves, but why do most developers not include specific architecture? maybe F-Droid could push or encourage the developers a bit especially new developers who upload their apps.
I don’t know if this has its own access or not, I hope in the future the developers pay more attention to this, that way the size and compatibility might be better. If I install VLC from the F-Droid app, will it install the appropriate architecture? I previously installed various apps from F-Droid, but now I only have Musify (by gokadzev) installed, but since it’s only available in the github release, I didn’t install it from F-Droid.
Ask them, and we do encourage them
As expected, yes
Sorry, just ignore it. Thank you for the confirmation.
I thought you talked about some 200-400 Mb app 
29Mb is like 4 pics via instant mesaging
It makes sense that you would think that if you just looked at the size, I would think the same too. Yes, of course the difference of 10-20mb is not that big, but the main point isn’t just that, you know what I mean.
