# New tests with empty projects.

Unity version 2019.4.0f1  
Defold 1.2.170  
Pls check projects to make sure I removed everything I could.  
In Unity, I use Stripping Level High which is pretty dangerous and often breaks bundle. In Defold I did two builds, one without AppManifest at all, and another one with manifest that cuts off Physics modules and Record module.

# Android

AAB size is not the same count of megabytes that will be delivered to the end-user. Pls, check apk sizes - it’s closer to size end-user will download.
