Build the new, modular Android App Bundle

on YouTube ↗37m

" summary

Android App Bundle is a new publishing format (not installable) that lets Google Play generate device-specific split APKs so users download only what they need, yielding 20% smaller on average (examples: 95% string, 45% images, 20% native savings; ~10 PB/day saved). Build with Android Studio 3.2 Canary or gradle bundle tasks; reproduce device installs locally or in CI with Bundletool (open source) and APK sets; manage on-demand features and installs via the Play Core split install API and test via the internal track or Bundle Explorer.
