Because you are running debug(test) I.e ( connecting your laptop with ur phone and run the app or to the emulator directly )to get smaller size you need to go to -> build -> generate signed apk -> apk -> "create your own key" then build the app finally transfer the file to your emulator or phone then install it

I have not used Android Studio, but I am aware that there is a 'minify' feature that is disabled by default. Have you tried enabling minify?

It might be revealing to look at the text strings within the executables. If you have a linux pc or termux installed on your phone, you can use the strings command to reveal only ASCII strings. (E.g., if your executable file name is a.out, on the command line type: strings a.out).

Some times you may get error while building the app so just copy paste the error in Google that way you could solve the problem
