extraneous "gunk" in apk

#1

some java source code to google’s license validation sample, ouya icons in the res folder (should they be there unless building for ouya store?)

as of build 2649 (tho not sure exactly when it started).  this stuff isn’t present in my source, so must be coming from the build, granted they’re all small/trivial in size, but still annoying.

btw, while i’m at it, is there any way during build to request:  “hey build process, i’m not using the widget library, can you please exclude the nearly 1M of theme images?”

thanks!

I’ll ask, but it would probably mean turning a bunch of stuff into plugins spending a lot of engineering effort to do a bunch of conditionals and taking them off of important tasks.

But of course we would love to hear what you, the community has to say.  This is a great candidate for a feature request at http://feedback.coronalabs.com

(along with a potentially? easier (than plugin) implementation strategy still accomplishing most of the filesize reduction)

A workaround is to create an enterprise version. It is a PITA to do so just to remove the gunk, but you strip out roughly 3 MB that way.
