Make Your App Instant!
summary
Instant Apps requires breaking a monolithic APK into a base module plus feature modules using the contentAndroidFeature plugin and Gradle configuration so each URL entrypoint pulls only a base APK plus one feature APK and stays under the 4 MB limit. The team shrinks resources with ProGuard, vector drawables and WebP, uses the isInstantApp and showInstallPrompt APIs, enforces HTTPS and Smart Lock Google Payments. Result: installable app drops from 17 MB to ~6 MB, instant APKs <4 MB, 27% conversion uplift and cart size +7%.
