Why apk size is way too big??

Question

I’d build a simple android game in unity 5.6 Personal. After a build I went through Console > Open Editor Log and following size information was retrieved. But my apk file size is 20.5MB and when I installed it on android device it takes size of 70 MB. Why the size of my game is so big? What can I do anything to reduce file size??

Total project in editor weight 9.4 Mo Without any compression or changes, my .apk is 30 Mo. I just did everything said in this doc, my .apk was 24.4 Mo. After compression on textures animations and meshes it's 24.2 Mo.

Difference between .NET 2.0 API and the Subset one is only 1 Mo (from 24.2 to 25.2)

Is there anything else I can do ? Am I missing something ?

Man, the editor log only tells you the size of uncompressed assets in memory, which has nothing to do with APK size.

You can build your apk for individual platform architectures.

Go to Build Settings (or press Ctrl+Shift+B) -> Click on Player Settings -> Select Android and click Other Settings -> Check the option Split APK by target architecture
