[jira] [Created] (CB-5848) Support for Android expansion files

Valerio Santinelli created CB-5848:
--------------------------------------

             Summary: 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: Blocker


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.
