Build Android App bundle from the command line

Issue

My APK file is already signed (with jarsigner) and compressed (with zipalign). I do it via a bash script. Though I'm getting a warning in Play Console to use Android App Bundle:

Reduce the size of your next release using the Android App Bundle. Your app could be 15.4% smaller if you used the Android App Bundle.

I know I have to use bundletool to use it in command line. The documentation is though too long and cumbersome.

Imagine I have such a file myApp.apk (already signed and compressed). Which command should I run to have the Android App Bundle file to upload to Google Play Console?

Solution

It's very simple. You can create android app bundles (.aab) file from android source by this command :

gradlew bundle

OR

gradle bundle
