Select
locate
in the dialog to navigate to the apkor by navigating to
{project name}/{app module name}/build/outputs/apk/
Generate your build with
gradle
by running the assemble
command for your preferred app build variant e.g. debug
variant./gradlew assembleDebug
Once the build is complete you can locate the
.apk

Appetize currently only support
apk
files for Android. In order to get your application to work with Appetize you will need to convert your aab
to an apk
by making use of the bundletool
provided by Google.bundletool build-apks --bundle=/<your app>/{aab name}.aab \
--output=/{your app}/{app name}.apks \
--mode=universal
unzip -p /{your app}/{app name}.apks universal.apk > /{your app}/{app name}.apk
If you are having trouble running your uploaded Android app in Appetize, we recommend trying to run the same APK on the standard Google-provided Android emulator locally over ADB.
Once your emulator is launched and available via
adb devices
, you can install it using the install
command:adb install -r {your app}.apk
or by simply dragging over the
apk
into the emulator window.Last modified 4mo ago
