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

Points to Consider

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

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

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

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