What is the maximum size for an Android Application that can be uploaded for Google Play? Is there some official resource or documentation for this? For example I see some games that are in GBs so is there an upward limit?

The maximum size limits are: 150MB: Maximum compressed download size of APKs for one device generated from app bundles. The app bundle itself can be many times larger than this size. 100MB: Maximum compressed download size of APK for apps published with APKs (only applicable to apps created before August 2021).
Each file can be up to 2GB and it can be any format you choose, but we recommend you use a compressed file to conserve bandwidth during the download. Conceptually, each expansion file plays a different role: The main expansion file is the primary expansion file for additional resources required by your app.
Average Android and iOS file size Of all mobile apps published on the app stores, the average Android app file size is 11.5MB. And the average iOS app file size is 34.3MB.
Yes, depending on the nature of your app (and the quality of your architecture) it will be a bit more work to optimise your app; but simply using App Bundles can be done by the flip of a switch and requires no adjustments to your code at all.
Android Market raises maximum app size to 4GB, APK files still limited to 50MB

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.
