🎉 I just published an update for my Android app using Android App Bundles Here is a tweet from our very own Brandon Minnick, who recently updated his app to use App Bundles: Our developers are seeing amazing success using App Bundle. This work is done by Google Play and it really reduces your app size based on your compilation settings. When using the App Bundle format users get only the languages, resources, and architecture for their specific device. This means, the app that is installed is reduced in size by up to 50% with absolutely no code changes! We introduced support last year in Visual Studio 2019 16.3 and Visual Studio for Mac 2019 8.3 to package apps with App Bundles. When packaging your app in an App Bundle, applications are delivered dynamically to users based on their specific device. Traditionally, when building an Android app, one would create one large APK file that all users would receive. Microsoft Visual Studio Enterprise 2015 Version 1.Android App Bundle is a new app packaging format from Google for Android applications that dramatically reduces the install size for end users. Then the dialog disapear, and the signed apk is nowhere to found.

Then a new dialog pops up with the title 'Publishing Android Package.', and the message 'Waiting for packages to complete'. After that I click on the Publish Button.

I select the Target Directory, and leave the File text field as it is, with the pre-entered name of the app. Īfter that I click Next and get the 'Select Destination' dialog. the same credentials that I have used like 100 times for the same app.

In the 'Publish Android Application' dialog, I select the keystore and add Password, Alias and Key Password. I can no longer generate a signed apk via Visual Studio Tools=>Android=>Publish Android App.
