Not sure. The build the crosswalk team releases is marked as experimental.

I can't give much insight to that.

I have a similar Issue, Crosswalk & Crosswalk Lite both are giving me Identical sizes. (26MB approx) ... Is this normal? or just that Ionic is not yet configured with crosswalk-lite ... I was expecting a size reduction but that just killed my hopes ...

My Info:

Your system information:

Cordova CLI: 5.0.0
Gulp version: CLI version 3.8.11
Gulp local: Local version 3.8.11
Ionic Version: 1.0.0
Ionic CLI Version: 1.4.5
Ionic App Lib Version: 0.0.22
OS: Windows 8.1
Node Version: v0.12.4

Also, This is how my ionic.project looks like:

{
  "name": "",
  "app_id": "",
  "browsers": [
    {
      "platform": "android",
      "browser": "crosswalk-lite",
      "version": "12.41.296.5"
    }
  ]
}

I don't know how importing crosswalk lite in ionic works, but the latest version we have published is 10 (https://download.01.org/crosswalk/releases/crosswalk-lite/android/canary/) so I wonder what "version": "12.41.296.5" above means.

Also, is the crosswalk-lite build split in arm and x86 packages?

baleboy on 14 Aug 2015

Yes its split into ARM and x86 Builds. You ll need to sign those APKs both of them at the time of Release.

I finally gave up on this, Published the Crosswalk builds for SDK Level Below 18 (4.3 and Below), for 19 and Above I had published the regular one.

But It would be great to know why Crosswalk vs Crosswalk Lite is not giving any size reduction difference?

I have a problem that seems different.
I did release crosswalk, separate x86 and ARMv7, but when risen to Google Play.
The version 104 022 is not available for any device configuration: all devices that can receive 104,022 would receive a version of the versions 104,024.
Theoretically the ARMv7 was 104,022, and 104,024 is x86, but the two in detail shows in native platforms like arm64-V8A, armeabi, armeabi-v7a, x86, x86_64.
I will try reinstalling the crosswalk to rebuild

problem still exists. Crosswalk-lite build is the same size that the normal crosswalk build.
Is this an issue of cordova 5.0?
