Research direction
Start by reading Documents #1–#3 to understand the Google Play memory requirements for Android 17. Then inspect the app’s DEX configuration and bitmap usage, and identify existing OOME reports or handling. Done means the DEX footprint and bitmap memory usage are improved and relevant out-of-memory issues are addressed.
