go-fula .aar package size issue

[ghorbani-m]

The .aar output of the go-full package is around 52Mb, which causes the app's package size to grow incredibly.

go-fula has all architecture (arm64,x86,...) included for now so size of it is little big!
for release we can use decouple arch and the size going to be around 10MB. but is need some android native knowledge, but it will not be an issue.

With ldflag -s -w
gomobile bind -ldflags='-s -w' -v -o ./out/fula.aar -target=android/arm64 github.com/functionland/go-fula/mobile
generate arr file with size 8.9MB for arm64.

And we can use something like to build multiple apk:

• Add makefile

@farhoud
You are right the main reason is multi-architecture build.
Is it possible to make a .jar file instead of .aar, it seems a .jar file is a more lightweight and common way of distributing an artifact?

No but we can have multiple aar file base on arch.
