Just tried my first demo app with just 2-3 components. And the APK size is wooping 33mb. Does Thunkable x APK takes minimum of 30mb ? ---

Hey @systems.dvc09h6ye 👋 Welcome to the communtiy! > [@systems.dvc09h6ye](#): > > the APK size is wooping 33mb. There is probably a little bit of extra work that we might do in the future to bring this down a couple of MB, but for a modern Android app, this really isn’t too bad. Given that modern smartphones have 1,000s of MB, 33 isn’t a huge amount of space to take up. Can you tell us a little more about the type of app you’d like to build on Thunkable? Is there a specific reason why 33 MB is too big for your intended user base? Thanks. ---

33 MB for even empty project. But confusing. ---
