bundletool

Bundletool is a tool to manipulate Android App Bundles and Android SDK Bundles.

The Android App Bundle is a format for publishing Android apps in app distribution stores such as Google Play.

The Android SDK Bundle is a format for publishing runtime-enabled SDKs to SDK distribution platforms such as Google Play SDK Console.

Bundletool has a few different responsibilities:

• Build an Android App Bundle from pre-compiled modules of a project.

• Generate an APK Set archive containing APKs for all possible devices.

• Extract APK(s) from the APK Set compatible with a given device.

• Install APK(s) from the APK Set compatible with a connected device.

• Extract device spec from a device as a JSON file.

• Add code transparency to an Android App Bundle. Code transparency is an optional code signing mechanism.

• Verify code transparency inside an Android App Bundle, APK files or an application installed on a connected device.

• Build an Android SDK Bundle from a pre-compiled module of a project.

• Generate an APK Set archive containing the SDK APKs for all devices.

• Generate an Android SDK archive, a Maven-friendly representation of an Android SDK Bundle.
