Bundletool is a tool to manipulate Android App Bundles and Android SDK Bundles.
The Android App Bundle is a format for publishing Android apps in app distribution stores such as Google Play.
The Android SDK Bundle is a format for publishing runtime-enabled SDKs to SDK distribution platforms such as Google Play SDK Console.
Bundletool has a few different responsibilities:
Build an Android App Bundle from pre-compiled modules of a project.
Generate an APK Set archive containing APKs for all possible devices.
Extract APK(s) from the APK Set compatible with a given device.
Install APK(s) from the APK Set compatible with a connected device.
Extract device spec from a device as a JSON file.
Add code transparency to an Android App Bundle. Code transparency is an optional code signing mechanism.
Verify code transparency inside an Android App Bundle, APK files or an application installed on a connected device.
Build an Android SDK Bundle from a pre-compiled module of a project.
Generate an APK Set archive containing the SDK APKs for all devices.
Generate an Android SDK archive, a Maven-friendly representation of an Android SDK Bundle.
