How to remove unnecessary dependencies from managed workflow?

Hi I am using managed workflow. How do I remove dependencies that expo adds on time of building the app, When I decompiled apk, I saw many packages that I really don’t use like BioMetric, ads (facebook/google) and many more.

Expo Diagnostics -

Hi

That is one of the downsides of using the managed workflow.

There is experimental support for removing some dependencies on Android. See here:

Hey @shahidcodes,

In addition to @wodin’s wonderful answer I’d like to add a link to the section that discusses a potential alternative to the Managed workflow called the Bare workflow which gives you the ability to select which modules you want bundled in. Workflows - Expo Documentation Just be sure to read all the differences so you understand the trade-offs between Managed and Bare.

Cheers,
Adam
