What is a APKS File Type?

Android developers use APKS files to test packages before downloading them to Google Play. After generating an APKS file from d' an AAB file, a developer can create device-specific APKs-and examine them or install them on test devices. bundletool provides many command options-to generate APKs and includes the option to sign them with a code.

To generate an APKS file from AAB files, use the following command.

Bundletool build-apks --bundle = / path / app.aab --output = / path / app.apks.

If you are a developer and have a connected device, you can install your application from the APKS file using the following command.

Install-apks --apks = app.apks.

Bundletool is the official tool used by Gradle, Android Studio and Google Play to create and convert d'packages; Android applications (AAB files) and to deploy APKs on user devices.
