  @hgy29 can you make it possible to exclude armeabi-v7a ??
  as it is done for x86
  
  
  
  
  ** to generate x86 without armeabi-v7a

  I can do that for sure, but most of devices are armeabi-v7a, so what would be the point of generating x86 only apk ?
  
  EDIT: Ok, you want to split your APK into an x86 version and an arm version probably, and provide separate APK for each platform. I'll add the option then, since App Bundle format seems to require a not yet finalized android studio version.

  In googleplay, you can upload several versions of the game, under different platforms separately
  to reduce file size

  I thought there was an option for you to send them a bundle and they split it at their end? You basically give them your signing key and they do the work from there. Does that not work?

  Google separately(automatically ) only in the "App Bundle" format
  
  so I upload separately for each platform

  I calculated the statistics of my games:
  
  armeabi-v7a ~ 41% (players)
  x86 =12%
  mips =5%
  armeabi >5mb =23%
  armeabi <5mb =19%
  
  
  she was surprised by me..
  
  many players remain on the version of the game "armeabi" (23+19=42%) (I compiled the game in the old version of the gideros)
  
  19% - have free space problems and do not install games> 5mb

  This is really interesting, and great that the option can be added. How much space can be saved when exported without v7a?

  @totebo You want arm-7va, that is the most popular.

  must be compiled for all platforms separately
  
  I also think of splitting different device sizes into separate apk

  I managed to split the game into 6 files
  and combine them into 1 collection in google play
  the file has decreased by 7 mb

  That's awesome!
  @oleg Can you pls write a step-by-step instruction how to decrease apk size to the minimum?
  I think we should post it to blog or wiki.
  Thanks!

  I write badly in English
  
  там все дуже просто:
  1- створити 4 apk під окремі платформи http://giderosmobile.com/forum/uploads/editor/jg/fcsdhgxpeuv1.png
  
  ** нумерація "Version Codes" в них повинна відрізнятися. гугл рекомендує робити версію з кроком в 1000 між платформами:
  
  x86_64:: 1001, 1002, 1003, 1004...
  arm64-v8a: 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004...
  x86:3001, 3002, 3003, 3004...
  armeabi-v7a:4001,4002,4003,4004
  
  (я не нумерував з кроком 1000, я просто пронумерував з кроком 1.
  arm64 -13, x86_64-14, x86-15,arm-16)
  
  потім просто додаєш всі 4 файла в магазині в 1 випуск..

  I made
  
  https://github.com/razorback456/gideros_tools/blob/master/require.gplugin

  
  щоб, розділити файли на розміри екрану, я зробив таку схему:

  Vc=3201 armeabi-v7a: smallScreens Vc=3101 x86: smallScreens   Vc=2101 armeabi-v7a: smallScreens+normalScreens+ largeScreens   Vc=1401 armeabi-v7a: smallScreens+normalScreens+ largeScreens+ xlargeScreens Vc=1301 x86: smallScreens+normalScreens+ largeScreens+ xlargeScreens Vc=1201 arm64-v8a: smallScreens+normalScreens+ largeScreens+ xlargeScreens Vc=1101 x86_64:: smallScreens+normalScreens+ largeScreens+ xlargeScreens

  сенс в тому що гугл спочатку перевіря більшу версію Vc -"Version Codes"
  тому набільший номер повинен бути в маленьких екранів
  
  спочатку перевірить
  Vc=3201 - ця версія тільки для малих екранів ширина дисп 480пікс і менше
  
  якщо екран більший гугл перевірить версію
  Vc=2101 - ця версія для великих ширина дисп 640 пікс і менше і т.д.

  I think what would be best is compatiblity with the Google 'bundle' format - if possible? It may already be compatible - I don't know.

  in any case it would be great if we could export to android bundle format whenever possible.

  Yes, and that should be easy since android studio does it all by itself provided our app sources follow the conventional format. I hope we do...
