Run npm run build in your project and you get a dist/ folder:

Zip that folder up and you have a bundle. The one I made today was 317 KB. 317 KB. That's the number that makes this whole thing worth doing. Your APK is 10.6 MB. The website inside it is 317 KB. When you change a screen, only the 317 KB changed — the other 10 MB of Android code is byte-for-byte identical. Making users reinstall 10.6 MB to deliver 317 KB of changes is the problem OTA solves.
