Android Question A general ide question

Hi
As google now demands all apps to be uploaded as aab not apk
Is there an option to set the default app generation to aab?

Thanks

It seems as though the IDE automatically constructs an aab file when building a new app bundle using the Project tab followed by clicking the Build App Bundle option. Then you will find that aab file in your objects folder.

Exactly what i meant
Currently the auto default is apk
You must select from prject tab to create aab
As google basically killed the apk why not change to auto create aab and if someone for some reason wants apk he will go through the project tab
This is to simplify and shorten the process making it more friendly

You are thinking about only Uploading to Google....

We need the APK for testing and running on our emulator and physical devices first, AAB is only the final step so why should it be Default?
I am also not sure without help of additional app, you cant share aab files to other testers to install, but APK is easy to do....
