Android Question Upload to Play Store error [solved]

You cannot upload APKs to playstore any longer (For New Applications). It has to be aab (App bundle).

Use latest B4A ide.
Menu Project > Create Aab Bundle

I am using B4A 11.

But I get this when I go build a bundle:


Building app bundle Error
C:\Android\tools\bin\bundletool.jar

I probably need to reinstall the Android SDK.

OK. I followed again the instructions at https://www.b4x.com/b4a.html and downloaded the two archives, then extracted them to \Android.

Unfortunately, I now get a new error:

Thanks. But this is about libraries.

The error is apparently about the content of the Android SDK.

@Erel where can I download that library ?

In the end, I was missing Android\tools\bin\bundletool.jar which I downloaded from https://github.com/google/bundletool/releases

I was able to produce aab, but still, Play Store would not take it, because it needed to be signed with an RSA key. So I had to generate a new certificate with B4A 11.

Now the aab has been uploaded and is on its way through review
