Publish smaller apps with the Android App Bundle

An Android App Bundle is a new upload format that includes all your app’s compiled code and resources, but defers APK generation and signing to Google Play.

Google Play’s new app serving model, called Dynamic Delivery, then uses your app bundle to generate and serve optimized APKs for each user’s device configuration, so they download only the code and resources they need to run your app. You no longer have to build, sign, and manage multiple APKs to support different devices, and users get smaller, more optimized downloads.

You make this look so easy and it is definitely not. I downloaded everything and I'm trying to get it "bundled" as the APP store is forcing me too and all I get is a gradle version error which I have tried all the google search resolutions and none have fixed my issue. How am I downloading the newest version of Android Studio and I have version 5.6.4 gradle yet it won't let me use the software saying it needs to be higher than 3.2. From my knowledge 5.6.4 is higher than 3.2...maybe fix this. I can't believe Google software is such a mess, I would hate to have to actually code in this.

This is pretty great, specially for apps that require and are media dependent(vectors, png, etc)

The problem I have with bundle is that it requires me to design more assets for different screen densities. When using a standard APK, I only have to create assets for xxhdpi that can be used by devices with a smaller density. But I guess there is always a trade-off between size and effort.

This is really great & will be hugely beneficial in reducing the apk download size.

I was using split APKs to submit previously. I tried to submit bundle file for the new version but the warning said "none of the previous users will be able to update to new APK" with "non-upgradable apk" title. So, for this version, I still used split APKs. Is there a way to migrate from split APK to bundle? :D Thanks!
