Either that Or reduce the app size by offering

I've just done a quick basic test about generating multiple APKs by dpi/arch, and apparently it doesn't make a big difference for this project, about 0.1MB less only But there are probably some other optimizations I don't know

If that's the case then I guess google calculator is coded in java instead of kotlin. Don't know any other ways they managed to keep it below 3MB. If this app reaches below 4MB, that is enough of a milestone.

The google calculator takes 8.5mo on my Google Pixel 6 (OpenCalc takes 5.8mo)

Why is the app being above 4MB an issue?

It's not about space constraints. It's about minimizing the unnecessary graphical elements & codebase, while not affecting the core operation. Devs should always thrive for efficient project build, no matter how small & reasonable they are.
