startup and throughout the entire app experience after you inspect your app for performance problems you can fix any issues and improve your app s performance tools and libraries android provides multiple tools and libraries to continually improve the performance of your app in production where it matters the most r8 the android app optimizer r8 helps streamline your app by removing unused code and resources rewriting code to optimize runtime performance and more to learn how to enable it see enable app optimization for details of r8 behavior changes across android gradle plugin agp versions see agp and r8 version behavior changes baseline profiles implement baseline profiles into your app or library for the most efficient way to improve performance it can significantly optimize app startup time reduce slow rendering and improve performance for end users to learn more see baseline profiles startup profiles startup profiles is an experimental feature that is similar to baseline profiles but is applied differently and has distinct benefits whereas a baseline profile optimizes performance as the app is installed on a device a startup profile is applied at compile time it gives the r8 shrinker hints to group commonly used classes together within the dex file this can reduce page faults during app startup and therefore improve startup times to learn more see dex layout optimizations and startup profiles app startup library the app startup library lets you further optimize the app startup experience both library developers and app developers can use the app startup library to streamline startup sequences and optimize startup operations optimize for low ram devices performance improvements begin from the ground up by optimizing for entry level devices you can improve efficiency across all device categories users are more likely to encounter issues such as app startup latency application not responding anrs or app crashes when using memory constrained devices develop test and benchmark your app with this market segment in mind to create a performant foundation for your app to build upon android go edition is a configuration of the android platform os which provides an optimized experience for low ram devices to learn more about improving stability and performance for entry level devices see optimize for android go edition solve common problems if the available tools or libraries don t resolve your performance issues we recommend checking for common problems and solutions in any of these categories app startup slow rendering memory battery
