When I make an .apk file with all these checked my app is way too large (more than 40M).
If I use just one or two of these, my file size is drastically smaller. Which one or two should I use?
Thanks,
David

Why not make 3 separate versions checking only 1 at a time? This is an honest question, I don't do mobile anything.

I have not found a way to get my app app from mac to android. I have tried gmail and dropbox, but when I go to install the app on my Android tablet, it fails.

Using a lot of trail and error, I finally was able to send my apk file to my Android. I also decided to use Android arm64 and Android x86 for stand alone.

There are no x86 Android devices anymore except for some very old devices that may still be in use. I always build for the two ARM architectures. Those cover all existing devices.
I've never had any trouble moving an apk to my devices by any method. Did you get an error message? If you had an older copy on the phone and didn't change the build number on the new build, the new one won't always install. The easy fix is to delete any existing copy on the phone before trying to install the new one. If that wasn't the problem, a description of what happened would help.
Rather than Gmail, try installing from Google Drive. Android devices work pretty seamlessly there.
