APK Analyzer

This skill equips you to thoroughly examine built APK files to catch bloat and security issues.

After running flutter build apk --release, locate the generated APK (usually in build/app/outputs/flutter-apk/app-release.apk).
Use the Android apkanalyzer CLI tool (if available in the environment) to inspect the APK.
Check the APK size. If the size jumped significantly compared to previous builds, drill down into lib/ and res/ sizes.
Dump the AndroidManifest.xml from the APK to verify that no unwanted or dangerous permissions were accidentally injected by third-party Flutter plugins.
If you find excessive DEX methods or unused resources, recommend ProGuard/R8 optimizations in app/build.gradle.

Right before finalizing a major release to ensure the binary is lean and secure.
When debugging issues where third-party packages silently declare unwanted Android permissions.
When investigating slow app startup times.
