Considerate App Update Delivery
summary
Shows how to extract and monitor file-level metrics from AAB and APK artifacts—package name, versionCode/name, targetSdk, declared permissions, dynamic-features, and min/max split APK sizes—using bundletool to read AAB metadata and simulate split APK sizes. Describes capturing R8/Proguard final rules (from build task output and mapping file) and keeping them under VCS to diff rule drift, and recommends never rebuilding release artifacts in CI but uploading artifacts only via Play Publisher while using bundletool inspections and text diffs as low-cost safety checks.
