+title: App manifest
+brief: This manual describes how the app manifest can be used to exclude features from the engine.
+---
+
+# App manifest
+
+The application manifest is used to exclude or control which features to include in the engine. Excluding unused features of the engine is a recommended best practice since it will decrease the final binary size of your game.

+
+## Physics
+
+Control which physics engine to use, or select None to exclude physics completely.
+
+
+## Exclude Record
+
+Excluded the video recording capability from the engine (see the [`start_record`](https://defold.com/ref/stable/sys/#start_record) message documentation).
+
+
+## Exclude Profiler
+
+Exclude the profiler from the engine. The profiler is used for gathering performance and usage counters. Learn how to use the profiler in the [Profiling manual](/manuals/profiling/).
+
+
+## Exclude Sound
+
+Exclude all sound playing capabilities from the engine.
+
+
+## Exclude Input
+
+Exclude all input handling from the engine.
+
+
+## Exclude Live Update
+
+Exclude the [Live Update functionality](/manuals/live-update) from the engine.
+
+
+## Exclude Basis Universal
+
+Exclude the Basis Universal [texture compression library](/manuals/texture-profiles) from the engine.
+
+
+## Use Android Support Lib
+
+Use the deprecated Android Support Library instead of Android X. [More info](https://defold.com/manuals/android/#using-androidx).
+
+
+## Graphics
+
+Select which graphics backend to use.
+
+* OpenGL - Include only OpenGL.
+* Vulkan - Include only Vulkan.
+* OpenGL and Vulkan - Include both OpenGL and Vulkan. Vulkan will be the default and fall back to OpenGL if Vulkan is not available.

-Currently, the process can be done manually, but we recommend our users to use the [Manifestation](https://britzl.github.io/manifestation/) tool to create their app manifest. Eventually, the creation and modification of the app manifests will be done in the Editor.
