Bundletool is Google's command-line tool for building, manipulating, and testing Android App Bundles (.aab) and Android SDK Bundles. It can generate APKs for all device configurations, install the right APKs on a connected device, and verify code transparency signatures.
Use cases
- build an android app bundle from compiled modules
- generate apks from an aab file for local testing
- install split apks on a connected device matching its specs
- test app bundle delivery before uploading to google play
- extract device spec json from an android device
- verify code transparency signature in an aab or apk
- build an android sdk bundle for runtime-enabled sdks
When to choose
- you publish Android apps to Google Play and need to build or validate .aab files
- you want to test split-APK installation locally without uploading to Play
- you need to generate device-specific APKs from an app bundle in CI
- you work with runtime-enabled SDKs and Android SDK Bundles
When to avoid
- you only need to build APKs, not app bundles - Gradle alone suffices
- you need a GUI-based bundle workflow - Android Studio covers that
- you are not developing for Android at all
