Ian Clelland commented on CB-6766:
----------------------------------
I haven't verified this yet, but I suspect it would be the addition of
splashscreen images to the default project, as of CB-5908.
In {{/platforms/android/res/}}, there are now by default 8 files named
{{screen.png}}, totalling ~1.7MB:
||file||size||
|res/drawable-land-hdpi/screen.png|216014|
|res/drawable-land-ldpi/screen.png|41538|
|res/drawable-land-mdpi/screen.png|90490|
|res/drawable-land-xhdpi/screen.png|488469|
|res/drawable-port-hdpi/screen.png|220338|
|res/drawable-port-ldpi/screen.png|41064|
|res/drawable-port-mdpi/screen.png|92429|
|res/drawable-port-xhdpi/screen.png|501006|
If you remove them, your APK should be much closer to the size that it was in
3.4.0
> Generated Android APK has much greater size when building with
> [email protected]

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-6766
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 3.5.0
> Reporter: Zarko Hristovski
>
> Building the same Android app with [email protected] and the latest offical
> ( [email protected] ) yields apk of much greater size.
> In the case of the Hello World app, the sizes of the generated
> HelloWorld-debug-unaligned.apk file come out as:
> 1,915,659 B - when built using [email protected]
> 220,883 B - when built using [email protected]
> If this isn't a bug then what is the reason for the manifold increase?
