Immutablo Smalltalk image embedding with APK
Registered by

To find a way to bundle a Smalltalk image with APK memory-efficiently and without much conversions. This was done previously
in Andreas' classic VM using application assets, but this requires to split the image into 1M chunks. Is there a way
to do this better?

Embedding of a Smalltalk image is now supported. An image can be split up into 1M segments by a standard split command
split -d -b 1M <source file> <prefix>.
creates <prefix>
An image is assembled from these segments when the application is starting, and is saved in a private area (other applications cannot access it). No significant changes were made in the res of the VM code.
I am considering this problem solved.
