I have setup a workflow file using menny/android image for container. I usually use that for my android projects.
\nHere is my workflow, so i wanted to see what the template \"myCoolApp\" for javascript looked like and tried building it ,
\n
name: nativeScript\n\non:\n  push:\n    branches: Nad\njobs:\n  build:\n    runs-on: ubuntu-latest\n    container: johnel/nativescript\n    steps:\n    - uses: actions/checkout@v4\n    - name: Run g4f\n      run: |\n        ns create myCoolApp --js\n        cd myCoolApp\n        ns build android\n        gh release create \"${{ github.run_number }}.0.0\" myCoolapp.zip\n      env:\n        GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.TK }}\n      shell: bash
\n
I have ran into the same error that has be reported multiple time by alot of new users. I was detetmined to get started but something like settingup a simple build environment has taken me sometime.

Hi, you can enable abi splits https://old.docs.nativescript.org/angular/tooling/publishing/android-abi-split#enable-abi-split to reduce the size of your apk. NativeScript android app pack v8 which is around 15-20MB in size for each architecture. Right now you are building universal apk which packs everything for all archs making the apk around 90MBs. In reality when you release your app to the android playstore as an aab, the final release apk will be much smaller in size.
