App sizes - where do they come from?

LokitoesLokitoes Member, PRO Posts: 187

I've made a very graphically heavy app, because it's for a personal project rather than for public release, so the size doesn't worry me. But I'm certainly curious - it is currently sitting at about 59mb in creator, but when I generate the app and download it, the generated app is 111mb. Where is all that extra weight coming from in the app generation?

    In the creator, the code is like:

    "In centre of screen, write 'hello'"

    when it's created into an app:

    "public class MyFirstJavaProgram {

    public static void main(String []args) {
       System.out.println("hello");
    }
    

    } "

    It bassically doubles everything.

    Also, the uploaded file is probably zipped to be smaller, and it unpacks into a bigger file.
