Upgrade to API 35 with warnings

General Discussion

I recently needed to upgrade my App - Color LED Controller (BT) to the latest Android 15 (API 35).

During the process, I saw quite a few warnings:

Warnings:

  • This APK results in unused code and resources being sent to users. Your app could be smaller if you used the Android App Bundle. By not optimizing your app for device configurations, your app is larger to download and install on users' devices than it needs to be. Larger apps see lower install success rates and take up storage on users' devices.

  • There is no deobfuscation file associated with this APK. If you use obfuscated code (R8/proguard), uploading a deobfuscation file will make crashes and ANRs easier to analyze and debug. Using R8/proguard can help reduce app size. Learn More

  • 1 message for version code 5: Some users of this APK may not be able to upgrade to the new APK added in this release.

  • 1 message for version code 2: There is no deobfuscation file associated with this APK. If you use obfuscated code (R8/proguard), uploading a deobfuscation file will make crashes and ANRs easier to analyze and debug. Using R8/proguard can help reduce app size.

Should I ignore these warning and continue to update? Just wanted to know if there's any affects...

Thank you for your advice.

Probably safe to ignore.

Yes.
(But point 3 is unclear. Are there any details? Maybe the minSdkVersion has changed.)
