Olá, a Google Play exigira apenas .aab a partir de agosto de 2021 e o buildozer cria apenas .apk, eu realmente não sei como criar .aab, não achei muitas fontes completas sobre isso, e estou com dificuldade em entender o bundletool, alguém que realmente entende pode me esclarecer detalhadamente como converto um apk do buildozer para aab?

Obrigado, desculpe minha falta de conhecimento... :(

I have not tried to figure out the details. I assume we will have to unzip our apk(s) and rebuild with bundletool.

You probably found the same sources a I did:

https://developer.android.com/guide/app-bundle

https://github.com/google/bundletool

~/.buildozer/android/platform/android-sdk/platform-tools/systrace/catapult/devil/devil/android/sdk/bundletool.py

When you figure it out please document what you find (or make a script?), I expect this will be important to some people.

Ola, boa tarde!

Eu estou gerando o arquivo aab utilizando o andorid studio da seguinte forma:

1 - Abara o projeto android (.buildozer/android/platform/build-arm64-v8a/dists/xautobot__arm64-v8a/) no android studio

2 - Atualize o gradle plugin para uma versão mais atual (eu utilizo Android gradle Plugin version 4.1.3 e grade version 7.0)

Para editar vá em File -> project structure -> project -> salvar

3 - Vá em Build -> Generate Signed Bundle or apk

4 - Selecione Bundle e siga os passos para fazer a assinatura do Bundle.

This is great.

Since I build on a VM I copied <project>/.buildozer/android/platform/build-arm64-v8a/dists/<app_name>__arm64-v8a/

to a desktop that has Android Studio installed. Then File->Open <app_name>__arm64-v8a

Since I was on a different platform Android Studio told me the SDK tools path was wrong, Fix? yes

I had to edit <app_name>__arm64-v8/build.gradle to change BuildToolsVersion 31.0.0-rc2 to 31.0.0.rc3

Android Studio suggested I update the Grade plugin to 4.2.0

I used Gradle 6.7.1

I took the unsigned .aab path:

Build -> Build Bundles(s)/APK(s) -> Build Bundles(s)

I got

<app_name>__arm64-v8a/build/outputs/bundle/debug/<app_name>__arm64-v8a-debug.aab

Success!

Do you have any ideas about how to build a .aab containing two architectures?

The difficult seems to me to be that private.mp3 is under src, so not in an architecture specific location, any ideas?
