v2.1.0 adds proprietary components and tracking, increasing APK size by more than factor 5

Created by: IzzySoft

Looks like your adding of QR Code creation had some very unwanted side effects:

Offending libs:
---------------
* Firebase Data Transport (/com/google/android/datatransport): NonFreeNet
* Google Mobile Services (/com/google/android/gms): NonFreeDep
* ML Kit (/com/google/mlkit): NonFreeDep,Tracking

3 offenders.

The trouble-maker here is MLKit, which drags in the other two – so essentially I'd have to add 3 anti-features which would scare potentially interested people away from your app: NonFreeNet, NonFreeDep and Tracking. Instead, I've just rolled back the latest updated and disabled its daily update checks in the hope you can find a free replacement. Not sure what your requirements are there, but why wouldn't e.g. ZXing an option? If not, could you maybe at least offer a FOSS flavor coming without those proprietary components? Thanks in advance!
