On the final day, we’ll optimize your AI-powered avatar assistant app for performance, size, and battery efficiency, and then package it for deployment to the Google Play Store and Apple App Store.
1. Why Optimize Before Deployment?
Faster Performance → Reduces lag in voice, avatar, and chat processing.
Lower Battery Usage → Reduces strain from camera, speech, and animations.
Smaller App Size → Makes app downloads faster and lowers storage requirements.
App Store Approval → App stores may reject apps with poor performance or privacy issues.
2. Performance Optimization Checklist
Reduce GPT API Calls
Bundle multiple user inputs into one GPT API request for faster response:
const messageHistory = messages.slice(-5); // Last 5 for context
Lower Avatar Render Frequency
Modify your useFrame
loop inside AvatarAnimation.js
:
let frameCount = 0;
useFrame(() => {
frameCount++;
if (frameCount % 2 !== 0) return; // Skip every alternate frame
// Avatar animation logic here
});
Throttle Speech-to-Text & Emotion Analysis
Limit voice/emotion detection checks:
const detectEmotion = () => {
if (lastEmotionDetected && Date.now() - lastEmotionDetected < 2000) return; // Every 2s
lastEmotionDetected = Date.now();
// Voice emotion detection logic...
};
3. Reduce App Size
Minimize TensorFlow Models
- Use lightweight versions of MediaPipe Hands and FaceMesh.
- Consider on-demand model loading:
await tf.setBackend('cpu'); // Lower-end devices
Bundle Reduction in Metro
Modify metro.config.js
:
module.exports = {
transformer: {
minifierConfig: {
keep_classnames: false,
keep_fnames: false,
mangle: true,
output: { ascii_only: true },
},
},
};
4. Battery Optimization
Stop Camera When Idle
Modify FaceExpressionDetector.js
and GestureDetector.js
:
useEffect(() => {
if (!isListening) cameraRef.current.pausePreview();
else cameraRef.current.resumePreview();
}, [isListening]);
Reduce Continuous Processing
Lower background GPU usage:
if (!userInteracting) stopEmotionDetection();
5. Privacy & Permissions Checklist
Microphone Access – For speech input.
Camera Access – For face & gesture recognition.
Explain Usage – Ensure App Store privacy form includes:
- Face/Hand Detection → “To enhance virtual assistant interactions.”
- Microphone → “For hands-free voice commands.”
6. Generating App Builds
Android Build (Expo EAS)
eas build -p android
Follow Expo instructions to generate an APK/AAB.
iOS Build (Expo EAS)
eas build -p ios
Requires Apple Developer Account.
7. Publishing to Google Play Store
- Create Developer Account – Google Play Console.
- Upload AAB – Release > Production > Upload your AAB file.
- Fill in Store Listing:
- Title: “AI Avatar Assistant: Voice & Emotion Chatbot”
- Description: “AI-powered voice assistant with 3D avatar, face tracking, and real-time chat.”
- Screenshots & Privacy Policy URL.
- Submit for Review.
8. Publishing to Apple App Store
- Create Apple Developer Account – Apple Developer.
- App Store Connect:
- Create new app > Upload IPA file from EAS Build.
- Fill app description, screenshots, privacy, and set permissions.
- Submit for Review.
9. Testing Before Submission
Test on Real Devices → Android + iPhone.
Test in Low Internet Conditions → Airplane mode + slow 3G.
Check App Size:
