Testing Android App Bundle with Appium

on YouTube ↗26m

" summary

Android App Bundle (.aab) requires generating an .apks archive and having Appium install the device-optimized APKs rather than handing Appium a single universal .apk. Workflow: use bundletool build-apks to create an .apks, sign it with your keystore, and either let Appium install it by setting app capability to the .apks file or preinstall with bundletool install-apks / adb install --apks. Google reports ~35% average size savings; testing needs extra signing and language-handling steps and the demo shows the approach works.
