Since the APK file is a ZIP file, why put a ZIP in a ZIP?

1. Faster version control commit/update
2. Seems to take less time to initialise when debugging
3. I was getting some out of memory issues when storing it

Yeah that would (usually) work because in that case the data you are putting
into the .apk is already compressed, so it won't compress what you are
putting in, so you don't go through the path of having to uncompress it when
opening; instead the raw data can just be found at an offset in a .apk

With that much data, the better choice would be to query a web server
and leave your app light weight and nimble. Anything that big will not
only take too long to download but will fill up way too much space on
the device. Using a web server might even execute faster than using an

The reason why there's a limit of 1 MB is purely technical. We need to
add a way to stream-uncompress assets data when reading it. Currently
the asset is uncompressed in memory in one pass (which means a 1 MB
asset requires quite a bit of memory to be loaded.) From what I've
been told it's not a
