Usually, instead of having 8-bit art, you have epic songs and very high definition textures. That is a good deal of why.
I think the epic songs and 4K textures are missing in my MS Office.
Yeah but they made xlookup, that's worth a few hundred megabytes
All hail xlookup
That’s weird. Have you tried reinstalling?
Textures and songs are not a thing on most apps right? For android, using Kotlin has created much bigger appsize than old java
Kotlin doesn't have much impact on binary size.
For smaller apps maybe. I've seen apps that should take less than 1mb rise to 15mb or so
That's not due to kotlin.
Why else?
How would I know without looking at the app binary?
