Replace Flurry Smaller app binary

Replace Flurry to shrink your app binary

Migrate from Flurry to a lighter analytics SDK. Helps developers avoid collecting personal data and ship smaller binaries.

Example Flurry call (the "before")

swift Respectlytics
import Flurry_iOS_SDK

let builder = FlurrySessionBuilder.init()
    .withAppVersion("1.0")
    .withLogLevel(FlurryLogLevelAll)
    .withCrashReporting(true)
Flurry.startSession(apiKey: "YOUR_FLURRY_KEY", sessionBuilder: builder)

Flurry.log(eventName: "Purchase", parameters: [
    "user_id": userId,
    "value": String(price),
    "currency": "USD",
])

App-binary size affects download conversion (especially on lower-end devices and cellular networks) and storage pressure for users with full phones. Heavy analytics SDKs (Firebase Analytics, AppsFlyer, Branch) routinely add several MB to the binary; Respectlytics's per-platform SDK is under 100 KB.

Remove Flurry cleanly

  1. 1

    Remove pod 'Flurry-iOS-SDK/FlurrySDK' from Podfile

  2. 2

    Remove implementation 'com.flurry.android:analytics:...' from build.gradle

  3. 3

    Remove react-native-flurry-analytics from package.json if used

  4. 4

    Remove Flurry.builder().build(...) initialisation and Flurry.logEvent(...) call sites

  5. 5

    If you used Flurry's Configuration Provider for remote config, plan a separate migration (e.g., Firebase Remote Config, GrowthBook)

  6. 6

    Delete the Flurry app entry once events stop flowing (the dashboard may already be sunset by the time you migrate)

Frequently asked questions

How much do these SDKs typically add to my binary?

Varies by SDK. Rough order of magnitude on Android (release AAB): Firebase Analytics ~3-4 MB (with transitive Google Play Services), AppsFlyer ~1-2 MB, Branch ~1.5 MB, Mixpanel ~1 MB. Our [SDK Bundle-Size Comparator](/tools/sdk-bundle-size-comparator/) has up-to-date numbers per SDK.

Does binary size actually affect downloads?

Yes — particularly past Apple's 200 MB cellular-download cap and on lower-end Android devices with limited storage. Google's Play Console has internal metrics showing measurable install-rate differences when AAB size crosses common thresholds (50 MB, 100 MB).

How does the size reduction work in practice?

Removing a single ~3 MB SDK from your release build shrinks the binary by roughly that amount. Multiplied by user installs, the cellular-data savings compound. iOS App Thinning handles per-device variants; Android AAB delivers size-optimised installs by ABI / density / language.

Does the smaller SDK come at a feature cost?

Respectlytics intentionally doesn't bundle features it considers separate concerns: no ads, no attribution, no in-app messaging, no A/B testing, no crash reporting. Each of those is a dedicated tool's job. The smaller surface is the deliberate design — you add only what you actually use.
