Android App

App Bundle

A new capability that enable one to shrink the APK download size. It is done by breaking up the APK, and repackage into only the specific needed parts per the device need (e.g. resources, languages). This is done by using the Split/Multi-Apk attribute. One has to export the signing key on the playstore up in order to use the feature.

Google Play Instant

This is an evolution from Instant App feature. It is now available to all including the Game Developer. The new capability includes the elimination of the URL link, and also introduce a beta program to access 10MB limit (used to be only limit to 4MB). Additional tools available to support it mainly for the game developer, i.e. Unity Plugin and Cocos Creator.

Android Studio Jetpack
