Currently, I have been preparing all of our assets for iOS and android based on best practices and using @2x, mdpi, xhdpi folders, etc. Everything works fine, however, I do have some lingering, beginner questions.
Take android, for example:
Why not just use xhdpi images across all resolutions and specify "dp" sizes to scale everything down for the lower resolutions? Are there any disadvantages to this approach?
When packaging for production, does the apk contain all resolution images? Does this result in a large apk size? Or does a mdpi user only receive an apk with mdpi assets somehow after the apk is sent to the play store somehow?
Thanks everyone!
