What is a AAB File Type?

Developers traditionally download APK files directly from Google Play for distribution. With the release of the new Android App Bundle format, Google encourages developers to switch to the new format using Android Studio 3.2 or higher. Once an AAB file has been downloaded into Google Play, Dynamic Delivery automatically creates and codes optimized APK files.

Bundled applications cannot be installed as andos; Android applications on user devices. Instead, they are intended to generate APK files for specific device configurations. If you want to generate APK files from an AAB file, you can use a tool called bundletool. Google provides this utility so that developers can test local devices before submitting packages to Google Play.
