Joe Bowser commented on CB-5848:
--------------------------------
You shouldn't be embedding videos in your APK, especially since every video
would have to be extracted out of the APK, forcing you to pay a penalty every
time you wanted to play it. Instead, videos should be fetched and stored on
the SD Card or the Internal Storage, where you only have to pay the penalty of
downloading it once.
> Support for Android expansion files
> -----------------------------------

> Key: CB-5848
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-5848
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Android
> Affects Versions: 3.3.0
> Reporter: Valerio Santinelli
> Priority: Minor
>
> As you might already know, Android .APK files cannot exceed 50Mb if you want
> to make them available on Google Play Store.
> For bigger apps, you can add one or more expansion files (.obb)
> The request would be to have Cordova automatically put the content of the www
> folder into an obb file so that all the assets won't be bundled with the app
> itself.
> That way, even if the assets are huge, you can still publish on Google Play
> Store.
> Right now there is no way to publish any app that exceeds 50Mb. I have seen
> some OS projects trying to deal with this, but right now there's no working
> solution.
