AAB File Guide
What is an AAB file?
Android App Bundle (AAB) is a publishing format that includes all your app's compiled code and resources. Google Play uses the .aab file to generate and deliver optimized, device-specific APKs to users, which are the actual installable files.
Downloading AAB files
You have several options for downloading and storing your AAB files:
- To device file manager: When you download a file from a browser on your Android device, it is typically saved to your Downloads folder, which you can access using a file manager app like Files by Google or Cx File Explorer.
- To Google Drive: Open the Google Drive app on your Android device, tap the More (three-dots) icon next to the file's name, and select Download.
Using AAB files
Since you cannot directly install an .aab file on your phone, you have several options:
- Convert to APK using bundletool: Google provides a command-line tool called bundletool that can convert an .aab file into an installable set of APKs. This process requires a computer and some technical knowledge.
- Use third-party testing platforms: Some platforms for app testing or distribution (like BrowserStack or Applivery) can process AAB files to generate and install APKs on a range of devices for testing purposes.
- Publish via Google Play: The intended use of an .aab file is to upload it to the Google Play Console for distribution via the Play Store, where Google handles the generation of optimized APKs for users.
Using bundletool to convert AAB to APK
To convert your AAB file to APKs using bundletool:
- Download bundletool from the GitHub releases page
- Use the following command to generate APKs:
java -jar bundletool-all-1.8.0.jar build-apks --bundle=your-app.aab --output=your-app.apks --ks=/path/to/your/keystore --ks-pass=pass:your-keystore-password --ks-key-alias=your-key-alias --key-pass=pass:your-key-password
- Install the APKs on your device:
java -jar bundletool-all-1.8.0.jar install-apks --apks=your-app.apks
