Make Your App Instant!

" summary

Jet.com ports a full Android app into a URL-launched Instant App using multi-module Gradle (com.android.feature, com.android.instantapp), splitting code into base + feature APKs so the largest base+feature stays under 4MB module limit. Tooling: APK Analyzer, ProGuard, WebP conversion, and Instant Apps API (InstantApps.isInstantApp, showInstallPrompt, getInstantAppData). Results: app size reduced from 17MB to <7MB (single-dex), checkout works via Braintree/Google Payments, and metrics show a 27% conversion lift and 7% cart size increase.
