App size is too large in Release mode with several native binded libraries

[espritm]

Description

I am rewritting a native Android and iOS application into a single MAUI application.
This application uses 4 main native libraries, that I have binded successfully.

Those native libraries has many dependancies, like com.vonage:webrtc which is a 200MB aar for instance.

For iOS, the final Release ipa is 210Mb, versus 50MB with the one built in native with Swift and xCode.
For Android, the final Release apk is 400MB, versus 90MB with the one build in native with Java and Android Studio.

In Debug, apk size is 49MB... And the limit to publish an app to the Play Store is 200MB.

How can I reduce the size please ? Is it an issue with binded library ?
I really need to go under 200MB, else it is a show stopper :x After months of binding, I cannot believe it.

I've tried to follow those advices https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/dotnet-7-performance-improvements-in-dotnet-maui

If you have questions over binding, you may want to move them to xamarin-macios and xamarin-android, where the tooling lives. This repo is for the MAUI UI project.

Following @drasticactions recommandations I close the ticket.
I have created dotnet/android#8530 instead
