You can compress the audio, there are many pages on the Internet where you can do it online.

I have compressed a 7.8 mb audio and it ended up at 2.4 mb.

I have used this page...

Compressing audio files generally leads to a significant loss of quality. Compression of more than 2/3 leads to a dramatic loss of quality. So it was never an option for me.

  1. You can also upload audio files > 5MB to the assets (using 7-Zip/WinRAR).
  2. You can add big files to the assets later (outside of AI2). See: How to build a big app → APK max. 100 MB or → AAB 150 MB

What Anke says is very true, you will have a loss of quality.

I didn't know you could upload audio in 7-Zip/WinRAR.
Thanks for the information @Anke

A great idea @Anke but I didn't compress the audio so much so, it was fine anyways, however I will try your suggestion. Thanks a lot
