An era ends! Google announces that Google Play will use the aab format: Android APK will be replaced

We know that Android applications are presented in APK format.

APK stands for Android application package, which means "Android application package". It is an application package file format used by the Android operating system to distribute and install mobile applications and middleware.

If you want an Android application code to run on an Android device, it must first be compiled and then packaged into a file that can be recognized by the Android system before it can be run. The file format that can be recognized and run by the Android system is "APK".

Now this format is going to be replaced. According to Android Authority, Google announced that the AAB format will replace Android APK.

It is reported that Google enabled the new AAB format (AAB stands for "Android App Bundles") in 2018. Google claims that this new format will make application files smaller.

Currently, among the millions of applications on Google Play, thousands of applications have taken the lead in following the AAB format.

Now Google has announced that AAB will officially replace Android APK. Starting from August this year, all new applications submitted to the Google Play Store must use the AAB format.
