Unoptimized APK

Warning:

This APK results in unused code and resources being sent to users. Your app could be smaller if you used the Android App Bundle. By not optimizing your app for device configurations, your app is larger to download and install on users' devices than it needs to be. Larger apps see lower install success rates and take up storage on users' devices.

Resolution:

Use the Android App Bundle to automatically optimize for device configurations, or manage it yourself with multiple APKs.

App Inventor 2 apps cannot use or create the Android App Bundle to ‘optimize’ your app. You have to do that yourself by re-using components etc.

Please read the articles in the Forum to learn the details about how to handling this isssue using AI2:

What do you do? Just ignore the warning. An App Bundle is not a requirement. Just upload your app as it is.

But the warn cannot be ignored, it doesn’t let you continue and launch the app in this moment, so now you can’t publish and app Inventor app, at least this is my experience today, I’ve spend many hours and gets nothing, no solution founded …

warnings can be ignored, errors not...
so it seems to be, there are still errors or some information is missing before you will be able to publish...

As a counterpoint, the MIT App Inventor companion is an App Inventor app that gets compiled when we build the App Inventor system. We publish the companion as an APK through Google Play whenever we do a release–App Inventor does not have AAB support. You may be missing some other data in the Play Console to complete your app submission.

I think I have the same scenario. The error message says I have to go back to the Dashboard. I'm not sure if I missed out something but I only have 1 step left which is rolling it out but it doesn't let me.

What happens when you go to the dashboard?

Thank you for responding deanart2012. I was able to figure it out. I'm using the Play Console Beta and it doesn't show the portions I've missed. When I went back to the classic UI, I was able to fix everything.

The Beta version has me confused as well. I don’t know why they’re changing something that works just fine.

1 quick question though, do you know how to add a billing permission inside appInventor? thanx

You’ll need an extension. See here for one that is paid.

You need to find out exactly what the errors are before anyone can help you.
