Objective

The current mobile example produces an APK of 1.5 Gb.

• Running the example on a real device takes significant time (around one minute just to copy the file over USB to my phone).
• Default virtual devices in Android studio run out of space after the first install. This can of course be solved/configured, but it causes unnecessary friction.
• One impression could be, that Bevy produces bloated APKs. 1.5Gb is even double the size of debug builds for desktop examples.

Solution

• Strip the debug symbols of the shared libraries before they are copied to the APK

APK size after this change: 200Mb
Copy time on my machine: ~8s

Considered alternative

APKs built in release mode are only 50Mb in size, but require setting up signing for the profile and compile longer.
