App size problems after AABs become mandatory from Aug 2021

[Peter]

The wget is downloading these files and placing them in a .tmp folder

I will not be testing the software any further. Not mature enough.

With which command did you get these download files?

Even with wget I don't get any further ...

I got only this:

[Peter]

They where dowloaded by bundlecompiler.

@Peter

They where dowloaded by bundlecompiler

Not for me, neither with cmd nor with Windows PowerShell.

As soon as anyone confirms that he / she was able to successfully decompile an AAB, I will keep looking for a solution for myself.

Sorry, but I am not getting these files / folders. Can you please tell me which version of wget you are using:

[Peter]

wget 1.20.3 on Linux Mint.

Build The .APK With 30mb
Add Some Big File in That .APK Make it 60 MB
Then Convert it to ABB

@Sashibhusan_Sahoo

Then Convert it to ABB

I don't think that's possible (converting an APK to AAB).
But if you found a way, please let me know.

[Sashibhusan_Sahoo]

I Don't Know If This Works Because I cannot test the AAB File
I used Kodular Here

I did Not Add Any File in Asset of Kodular

But By Unzipping it and adding it into

[Sashibhusan_Sahoo]

Today I will Publish My 60mb AAB To Playstore By Using Above Method

[Patryk_F]

Next post your updates on google play, and check if the update replaces v1 without any problems.

You don't even have to try that. It will definitely not work.

[Sashibhusan_Sahoo]

Did not work trying with other method

[Anke]

@Sashibhusan_Sahoo

trying with other method

See here:

@Diego

In the meantime, can you try opening the ABB, going to the base/ directory, and placing those assets into the assets/ folder? And then just sign it with jarsigner (these are the arguments it requires).

And read my replies to this.

Which Java version do you have installed?

[Peter]

It could have been an earlier version since i updated my Linux Mint recently.

openjdk version "11.0.11" 2021-04-20
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 11.0.11+9-Ubuntu-0ubuntu2.20.04)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.0.11+9-Ubuntu-0ubuntu2.20.04, mixed mode, sharing)

wget is written in C and so it shouldn't be dependent on Java at all. I will make some time to work on this problem this week.

[Anke]

Note: I added Part 2 on how to build a big app → AAB & sign it to my guide.
It takes less than 1 minute to insert large files into the assets and sign the AAB.

PS: I have no idea why this didn't work before (maybe a problem from Google at the time).
