    The first game I created in unity (2017) was only 9.7 mb in size but since then all the games I've created are of size 22 mb. I don't remember what special action I took but I can't achieve the same ~10mb size for APKs.

    How do I reduce apk size? Even an empty project is more than 20mb in size.

    Go to player settings and make sure you are including only a single target architecture.

    You mean check only one of these? If yes, then which one?

    Yes, one of these. It depends on the architecture of the device you want your app to run on. Most devices have ARM architectures, so you should probably use it. You can make two separate builds with different supported architectures if you want to support them both.

    Thanks!

    Not Unity related question but does Google Play store allows the publisher to upload two different builds and automatically install the correct build on the user's device?
