Hi i am Working with android applications , When i try to upload developer console says the message , “”
I hope we can reduce the app size through it , I tried in different ways i cannot get idea for that. Please help me out. Is there any Posibilities to do that.
Edit: See Matti’s answer below if you’re on Cordova >= 8.1.0
You need to have "cordova-android": 8.0.0
or later.
-
run
ionic cordova build android --prod --release
as usual -
change into the
/platforms/android
folder and run./gradlew bundleRelease
. On Windows, the file might be calledgradlew.bat
instead.
This outputs the bundle at /platforms/android/app/build/outputs/bundle/release/app.aab
. Sign this bundle just like you would sign the APK and upload it to the Play Store.
Answer:
Is supported natively in cordova-android >= 8.1.0
ionic cordova build android --prod --release -- -- --packageType=bundle
Note the extra -- --
dashes before --packageType
. First --
is required by cordova. Second one is required because there is another cli tool between (ionic).
If you use cordova without ionic:
cordova build android --prod --release -- --packageType=bundle
