App sizes - where do they come from?

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 {
} "
It bassically doubles everything.
Also, the uploaded file is probably zipped to be smaller, and it unpacks into a bigger file.
