I’ve got an Air-for-iOS/Android app (packaged with captive runtime on the Android side). On my Windows 7 development machine the .ipa ‘weighs’ 75MB and the .apk ‘weighs’ 155 MB. An .apk of the same app without the captive AIR runtime is 65 MB. The shared AIR on Android runs about 40 MB (on the mobile device) these days. Where in @!$%^)$* is that extra 50 MB coming from ?? And is there anything to do about it?
Apologies if this has been asked already here.
