Oh, I thought you meant to replace the current 4 with 1. And yeah, GWT stuff makes its way into other builds - I’ve particularly noticed this when using libraries such as formic and haven’t found a good way to have GWT-exclusive assets. For most projects you can also remove the default shader (think it’s only used for 3D) and font.

Hmm. Which browser? Samsung Internet (based on Chrome), Firefox and the LineageOS Jelly browser could load Space Invaders. That should cover most of the options, unless you have JavaScript disabled.

Yeah, we should probably see if something can be done about copyAndroidNatives. In #6811 (pending review) it’s been changed to run on merge and JniLibFolders - dunno what difference this makes.

Having the native libraries as separate dependencies sounds like it could potentially be a divisive topic, and not just due to probably being a breaking change. In libGDX 1.10.0, armeabi (ARMv5, ARMv6) libraries were dropped, so anyone upgrading had to remove the line defining it from build.gradle. It caused quite a bit of confusion, with many people also removing armeabi-v7a, causing their game to not work on most 32-bit devices. If there was some sort of “meta library”, this grief could have been avoided. At the same time, I do think it’s nice to be able to pick and choose, but the libraries aren’t all that big, especially with AAB removing unneeded ones, so I don’t know how many people actually go removing x86, for example, to save space.
