/aab2apk

Sometimes you just want to create an APK file from an AAB file. Could be to share the application with your friend or to submit it to QA/QE team. This desktop application will hopefully make the process easier for you. Still largely a work in progress.

AAB2APK: AAB -> APK the easy way

AAB2APK provides an easy way for you to convert your .aab file to an .apk one. The application allows you to drag and drop the file you want to convert, and points you to the converted file.

Setup

  1. From the releases page, find the latest release and download an install file.
  2. On first run, the application will request you to download bundletool-all-1.0.0.jar. If you already have one, drag and drop it to the space.

Known issues

  1. Currently works on MacOS only
  2. Requires that you have Android SDK version 30.0.0 installed in the default installation directory. Usually this points to Library/Android/sdk/
  3. There's no visual indication of when a process of converting is in progress or complete or worse, when an error occurs. To know when the process is complete, the directory of the output APK file will be opened. This usually takes 10-15 seconds. If 30 seconds elapse, and the output directory is not opened, click on View > Toggle Developer Tools and check the console.
