Description
Several things to consider
- Make sure modules aren't linked in if not used.
- Create minimal js.jar
- Have dependency detection between modules (requires extending module project)
- Use js compiler where possible

I want to confirm if this issue only related to Android?
How about iPhone?
- Don Thorp 2011-04-15
We use different tickets for each platform. iPhone is already minimizing it.

Any update on this? I've received a couple of negative feedbacks from users in the marketplace due to the file size being large.
The APK is just under 1MB, but when installed it's over 3MB.
- Don Thorp 2011-04-15
This is being done as part of our 1.5 release. We do not have a firm release date yet.

(from [6dbf78c86cfa3b48320b786a7a026c714d321e21]) a new smalljs.jar that includes everything needed for JS compiling, we now compile / ship with the smalljs.jar on device, and compile with js.jar [#685 state:fixed-in-qa] https://github.com/appcelerator/titanium_mobile/commit/6dbf78c86cfa3b48320b786a7a026c714d321e21"> https://github.com/appcelerator/titanium_mobile/commit/6dbf78c86cfa...

Marshall
Does this optimization address excluding images that aren't required, as per http://developer.appcelerator.com/question/83571/zipalign---is-it-built-into-titanium"> this concern in the Q&A? Although, I'm not sure if this is possible. Would you mind clarifying? Thanks

Marshall, from osx (api 7) and Titanium SDK version: 1.5.0 (12/08/10 08:34 4ee1205), when creating a minimal project I get 4.85MB
1.new project > mobile, give it required info
2.install to device and check the size (by way of settings> manage applications)results: 4.85 MB
- Thomas Huelbert 2011-04-15
1.4.1.1 same test yields a 2.86MB (uncompressed on device)

Should not have been in M01
