Giacomo Active Member Licensed User Longtime User Sep 4, 2025 #1 Good morning everyone I'm a hobbyist I make small Android apps for myself and a few friends. I don't post anything on Google Play (and I don't care). With the new AAB format (new for me because I only rarely create some small APP) How do I forward my apps to friends? In the past I could make a ZIP file and even send it to my email Can you help me, is there an alternative way to AAB file? Thanks to all who will respond
