Key Benefits

Effortless APK Retrieval: Simplifies obtaining APKs by eliminating the need to rebuild. With an AAB file, you can easily generate APKs using Bundletool without rebuilding the project.

Streamlined Distribution: Facilitates app distribution to testers. Testers can easily access the APK directly from the Testing Distribution page.

Easy Integration: Seamlessly integrates with Appcircle's CI/CD pipelines, automating Bundletool usage as part of the build and deployment process. Bundles can be published directly from Appcircle.

Points to Consider

Bundle Configuration: Ensure that your Android App Bundle is correctly configured in project settings to take full advantage of Bundletool’s capabilities.

Testing: Test generated APKs on various device configurations to verify compatibility and performance, ensuring a consistent user experience.

Versioning: Manage versioning carefully when generating multiple APKs from a single app bundle to maintain consistency and trackability in app releases.

Dependency Management: Keep Bundletool and dependencies up to date in your CI/CD pipeline to leverage the latest features and improvements in APK generation.
