This is a valid question. If you are not going to run your app on emulator and run only on Mobile devices, then you can remove armeabi-v7a, arm64-v8a, x86 and x86_64 libs by placing below code in project build.gradle This will definitely reduce your apk file size.

defaultConfig {
    applicationId "com.xxxx.xxxxx.xxxx.xxxx"
    ndk {
        abiFilters 'armeabi-v7a', 'arm64-v8a'
    }
}

In order to support all devices CPU architecture you need to keep the both of them and adding x86 & x86_64 as well, however to reduce the APK size try the following :

  1. Go to Android Studio Menu > Refactor > Remove Unused Resources
  2. Enable the Proguard and set shrinkResources to true
  3. Using Android Bundle, Google Play will take the rest of work by splitting your APK to APKS and show it to the user depends on their device CPU architecture
