Answer 1

You can ZipAlign the signed apk to compress it.

Usage:

zipalign [-f] [-v]  infile.apk outfile.apk

Example:

D:\android-sdk\android-sdk\tools>zipalign -f -v 4 "C:\Users\Joisar\Desktop\project_name\appname_signed.apk" "C:\Users\Joisar\Desktop\project_name\appname__zipaligned.apk"

Note:

Kindly checkout the apk whether it is zipaligned or not by following command, if it's not zipaligned, then do it.

zipalign -c -v 4 "C:\Users\Joisar\Desktop\project_name\appname_signed.apk"
