Summary

Android App Bundles let developers divide Android apps into a base module and optional feature modules that can be installed conditionally or downloaded on demand, reducing the code and resources included in the initial app download. Starting with Firebase BoM version 28.0.0, Firebase SDKs can be used directly in feature modules rather than only in the base module, allowing Firebase-dependent optional features to be deferred until users need them. For example, authentication can remain in an install-time sign-in module while a support-chat feature using Firebase Realtime Database can be delivered on demand, avoiding the initial download of its SDK, code, assets, and resources. Developers enable this setup by adding the Firebase dynamic module support dependency to the base module and including the relevant Firebase BoM and SDK dependencies in each feature module.
