Hey,

We recently updated our Unity from 4.2.2 to 4.6.1 and our APK was at about 49MB, now it is at 57MB (without any changes made to the project).

I was wondering what is the reason for this - and is it possible to somehow return to the 49MB size we had before?

Thanks

Unity 4.6 added support for x86 - that is why you see a larger APK when building with 4.6. You can disable support for x86 in PlayerSettings/Android/Other Settings/Device Filter.
