You can try yourself with an empty scene ;)

However, you can reduce the size if you set "ARMv7" or "x86" device filter instead of "FAT" (which includes binaries for both architectures).

Thanks Yury. I am seeing lots of these "tricks" to reduce the size of an apk. The AR$$anonymous$$-only option seems to reduce the size of my basic app to around 10$$anonymous$$B. I'm also seeing things about stripping bytecode (IIRC), etc. I'm wondering what the absolute maximum is after all these tricks. If it's only a few $$anonymous$$B here and there, I might know when to give up on trying to bring the size down due to insignificant savings.

You're correct, I think select one architecture and enabling stripping are the options to reduce apk size. I managed to get 11.2 $$anonymous$$b with AR$$anonymous$$v7 only and stripping enabled.

This solution made a drastic AP$$anonymous$$ size change. Thank you.
