Update (As of Sep 28, 2015):

APK files have a maximum file size, based on the Android version that your APK supports: If you can't support all devices with a single APK, you can upload multiple APKs using the same app listing that target different device configurations.

• 100 MB – APKs that target Android 2.3 and higher (API level 9-10 and 14+)
• 50 MB – APKs that target Android 2.2 and lower (API level 8 or lower)

Tip: Users must run Play Store version 5.2 or higher to install 100 MB APKs.
