App ID: 42c91bdd-f4e7-40ac-b273-9c4bbdd63919

The patch size should be similar size across different platforms, but currently, the ARM64 version is significantly larger while other architectures remain small.

Steps To Reproduce

1. shorebird patch -p android
2. shorebird showed the info

Expected Behavior

Patches are similar size.

And I found that x86_64 and arm patches' hashes are the same after running shorebird patch -p android. Does it meant that only support arm64?

Hmm, that's surprising. Thank you for the report, we can look.

Attempting to reproduce now with a trivial example (the default Flutter "counter" app, changing the theme color for the patch). I'm seeing an arm64 patch size that is very slightly higher than the other architectures, but only barely:

🕹️  Platform: android [arm32 (13.20 KB), arm64 (13.32 KB), x86_64 (12.92 KB)]

Can you provide more information about your app?

• What changes are included in the patch?
• Can you share your pubspec.yaml?

• Can you share your pubspec.yaml?

• lots of darts and assets's changes, include adding, removing and changing.
• sorry, I can't share full pubspec.yaml. I can only take a screenshot for part of pubspec.yaml.

It may also just be randomness from the Dart compiler. I'm not sure why the arm64 binary would change so much, but it's possible that when we use our fancier compiler tech (that we use on iOS but not currently Android), this issue will resolve itself:
#2737

but after making patches again, x86_64 and arm patches' hash is the same with last patches'. Is it expected?

[eseidel]

I'm not sure what you mean by "x86_64 and arm patches' hash is the same with last patches". Where are you getting the hash values?

[MarkZhongsh]

I got the hashes from log.

I got the hashes from log.

Can you share the full logs?

I have tried to create patch again, it seem everything ok. But this patch deleted chanege one dart file. hmm
