- Abstract
- Mobile applications have grown rapidly in size. This dramatic increases in size and complexity make mobile applications less accessible to a broader scope of users. The prevailing approach for better accessibility of mobile applications is to manually reimplement slimmed versions with a small but representative portion of a regular original app. Unfortunately, this approach imposes significant burden on developers. We propose a system called Madusa to enable developers to effectively customize and reduce their mobile applications for Android. Madusa takes as input an original app, an upper bound on the size of a reduced version, and usage scenarios as a high-level specification of its desired core functionality. The output is a reduced version of the app that is still correct with respect to the specification while not exceeding the size limit. Madusa constructs a graph representing dependencies among methods and resources and identifies a sub-part of the graph using integer linear programming to generate a reduced version that exhibits behaviors as similar as possible to the original app. Our experimental evaluation on a suite of 19 Android apps available on Google Play Store. Madusa effectively converges to the desired simplified apps by reducing the app size by 40% on average (maximally by 60%). We conclude our approach effectively removes redundant code and resources with respect to given usage scenarios.
