How to reduce size of an apk file? : <p>First of all, don't suggest me <a href="https://developer.android.com/topic/performance/reduce-apk-size.html" rel="noreferrer">official documentation</a> or <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40036945/android-studio-2-2-compress-all-so-files-in-built-apk">this</a>. When we build an app from Android Studio with predefined textview that simply displays "hello world", it generates an APK with more than 1.2MB. But some apps on playstore is available under 500KB with lot of features. I already applied all features of Android Studio like proguard, minifyEnabled etc. but that does not help. So, how can i achieve that level of compression?</p>
