Unable to use instant app if i remove implementation ('app') from dependency of dynamic module?

I want to use One feature of my app as Instant app which needs below dependecy which is increasing the app size to 60MB.

implementation ('org.pytorch:pytorch_android_lite:1.13.1')
    implementation ('org.pytorch:pytorch_android_torchvision_lite:1.13.1')

Hence unable to Upload Instant app on playstore since for instant app to upload, size should be 15MB .

So i am trying to remove base module from dynamic module and check if size decreases and i can proceed with uploading

Unable to build project ,facing compile time error when removing "implementation project(":app")" this line from dynamic feature which i want to use as Instant app.

error :
