I spoken to many that have made Android apps with Scala but none that have pushed them to the appstore as the final binary is always quite big even for simple apps.

I wouldn't say that's true. I have an app written in Scala [1], and the apk is just 4 MB. Sure, that's more than a comparable Java app, but many apps reach 20+ MB due to graphics anyway.
