Research direction

Start by locating the Android build configuration and current APK packaging settings; the issue does not name specific files or tests. Check how native libraries are included and how per-ABI artifacts could be produced. Done means the requested ABI-specific builds are available and fit the stated distribution size limit, with compression considered separately.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

APK size is now beyond 60 MB – twice the per-app size limit at IzzyOnDroid. May I kindly ask for per-ABI builds? Native libraries are currently stored in the APK, uncompressed: ~10 MB for x86_64, ~8 MB for x86, ~5 MB for armeabi. So without those, an arm64 APK would be down to slightly below 40 MB at least. If you'd consider to additionally enable legacy compression, we'd arrive at around 35 MB.

Thanks in advance!
