Android App Bundle: from start to deployment

on YouTube ↗39m

" summary

Migrating to Android App Bundle requires changing Gradle to produce an .aab (run bundle release), enabling Play App Signing, and updating CI (Fastlane/GitLab, CircleCI/Bitrise examples) to upload with skip_upload_apk; use the bundletool jar to generate device-specific APKs from the AAB and a device spec, or produce a universal APK for QA. Measured wins include ~60% APK size reduction (65 MB → 45 MB example) and terabytes saved at scale; asset packs have per‑pack limits (512 MB fast follow/on‑demand, 2 GB total, max 50 packs).
