most changes are in the META-INF & res folder.

in the META-INF file I see tha one uses java 1.7.0_79 and the other one 1.8.0_45

in the res folder are 2 more drawable folders and the filesize of the already existing files are bigger aswell.

should I just upgrade my java 1.7 to 1.8?

I suggest to have IDENTIC configurations... Same JAVA Version, same SDK, same Buildtools...
1.8.0_45 is old... most up to date is 102 or so....

You should generally update Java due to security updates.

should I go for the 32 or 64 bit version for the 64 bit machine? or will they spit out the same apk anyway?
