title: My APK size increased from 65 Kbytes to 8.8 MBytes after adding google play services (for admob)
body: <p>I have a small app that only haves a size of 65kb when apk is installed. Now i need to use admob on the app, and after adding google play services lib, now my app haves 8.8 megabytes of size when installed!!!!!!! this very frustrating...</p>
  
  <p><strong>How can this be avoided? i want to reduce the size of the apk</strong></p>
  
  <p>i am using proguard with this config to avoid google play services errors when generating a release signed apk:</p>
  
  <p>-dontwarn com.google.android.gms.**</p>
  
  <p>thanks</p>
