Generate Android App Bundle aab from apk file

Question

I'm using Xamarin to develop android app. As I know, it hasn't supported android app bundle. So I would like to know if there is any way to generate an Android App Bundle - aab file from the apk via terminal? Or any other good way to process ?

Answer 1

No, the APK itself doesn't have enough information for the bundletool to create a bundle (AAB). It can work the other way round - to create an APK from a bundle.

If you want to create a bundle by hand, you will need to do a lot of stuff by hand, including resource handling, code compilation etc. You can find more information about how to do that in the official documentation.
