Let's say I am building a minimalistic Hello-World apps, what would be the expected build size for this apps?

In the past, I have tried other platforms such as Titanium, but the resulting package is too large for me to accept, e.g. near 800KB for a simple Hello-World app (Android)

Can anyone give me some figure before I pay the money?

Thanks.

You can build apps with our 30 day trial to see if Corona fits your needs.

Our current minimum on Android is around 1MB (by contrast, it's much smaller on iOS, around 400KB). One problem is Android's NDK doesn't include support for some basic functionality -- sqlite, for example, weighs in around 400KB.

I'm curious to know why you require a smaller application than that. 1MB is pretty small for any app that includes native libraries.
