176 <p class="dac-hero-description">
177 Android Instant Apps functionality is an upgrade to your existing Android
178 app, not a new, separate app. It's the same Android APIs, the same
179 project, the same source code. It can take less than a day to get
180 up and running for some developers, though the effort involved varies,
181 depending on how your app is structured. You modularize your app,
182 and Google Play downloads only the parts that are needed, on the fly.
