Reducing Android aab file size with project settings

Any android devs that could help with this?

I am trying to fix this google play console issue when uploading my aab file (Some feature modules of your app bundle exceed the maximum compressed download size (200 MB). Reduce the sizes of these modules: base.).

One of the ways I saw when googling how to reduce the package size is by enabling Build with hidden symbol visibility in shipping config in the project settings. When I package the android project it does make a Symbols folder with files that is quite big, however it does NOT reduce the aab file size at all.

Excluding editor content when cooking didn’t decrease the aab file size either.

Any ideas why this isn’t reducing the aab file size at all?

Did you find any solution?
