i have seen many apps in small size like 300 kb with ads (monetized) included then why my app size increased that much

so how can i reduce app size after monetizing my app

Answer 1

adding of google-play-services_lib project increase the size of apk.

Remove unused/unnecessary resource from res folder (drawable-XXX, values-XXX).

many resource in google-play-services_lib\\res folder is no use for you, you can remove it. such as values-af, values-am, .... what you need to keep is color, drawable, drawable-hdpi and values folder.

Clean and build the apk, you can see the reduction in the size of apk.
