Why does Android studio 2.3 produce bigger APK?

I just build a signed apk of my app and realise that the generated apk went from 15 to 23 MB.

It's a minor release with just minor bug fix and should not vary that much , so i launched the apk analyzer : enter image description here

if anything , my app should be smaller not 8Mb bigger...

On the other side , the claimed download size is close to the old apk's size.

What can explain those extra 8MB ?

AS 2.3 automatically adjusts apk (zip) compression level to optimize app load time and update patches size. They also do not compress native libs now (to provide support for android:extractNativeLibs="false").
