hi I am creating a blank project and when packaging in etc1 my apk size is 38 mb…

i’ve done what was suggested in this site : https://docs.unrealengine.com/latest/INT/Platforms/Android/ReducingAPKSize/index.html
but i can not make it less(it was first 40 mb)

is there a way that the size may be less(around 20 mb for a blank project)?

thanks a lot

Hello,

The majority of the file size is taken up by Slate, which is added by default into projects. Anywhere between 30-40mb is typical for a blank packaged project.

Have a great day,

thanks,
can’t we delete the Slate?

It is not recommended to do this, but if you need to decrease your package size you can technically remove slate.

Have a look at this documentation, specifically the section on Package Black List: Reducing APK Package Size in Android Projects in Unreal Engine | Unreal Engine Documentation

When you have read and understood this, have a look at the answer by Chris Babcock on this Answerhub post :Why are android file sizes so big? - Mobile - Unreal Engine Forums
This shows some of the files you need to omit to remove Slate.

Keep in mind that this is definitely not recommended, and if you need to use UMG in your project, you will be unable to do so without Slate.
