  I noticed most games are 50+MB so I just left it as is. Wasn't worth the effert to shave off a few MB. Any game that is <10MB is small nowadays.</p>

  you do not see everything in the store
  
  Google makes a separate rating for each country, for each language, for each category of games
  
  for my games the size of an apk is important

  @oleg Have you tried having google bundle them into different apks for each processor? (you let them resign the apk on the store back-end).
  
  Gideros 2018.6 (currently being tested) removes MIPS and early ARM compatibility - so the apk is smaller. Also Box2d is not not included in the main lib to make it smaller still.

  I just made an gideros apk using 2018.6 that has no assets, plugins, etc.
  
  It's about 3.6MB and has Arm and x86 libs.

  Did you try recently - they have relaunched the feature - they say the files are really small now?

  @oleg With the 2018.6 version of Gideros I made an apk with no plugins and no assets, it had both Arm and x86 code and was 3.68MB.
  
  If I removed the x86 code so it just had Arm code it was only 1.79MB.

  @SinisterSoft cool
  I think it's necessary to compile the minimum size, and the google bundle itself will add x86 as needed

  I think you will have to send google an apk with both x86 and arm, they should split it for you into two and send the relevant one to arm or x86 devices.

  A switch has been added to the requires plugin to make an APK with basically just Arm files (no x86). It will be in 2018.6 (maybe out later today)
