    Description

      Qt for Android apps might be become large in size and can take more and more space especially when having multiple Qt apps on the same device and libraries might get duplicated. The ticket QTBUG-89132 looks into using Apex mechanism to avoid this duplication, however we might be able to achieve the same outcome by using the FileProvider API from Android.

      This approach might be seen as a replacement for the deprecated Ministro way. To achieve this we need changes to:

      • Changes to Qt loader to account for this option when loading libs and plugins
      • Changes to androiddeployqt to work in sync with this option and not package the Qt dependency libraries.
