Well whatsapp is pretty popular in these slow connection countries facebook is talking about even if it has ~30MB apk size. Guess what, people are ok with it. I think reducing apk size to <1 MB by creating a VM on android thereby compromising on UX aspects of app is not a very good idea. But this approach sounds like a new architecture of building android application which gives more control on server side since have core logic there.
