How to Extract an apk file from app budle?

Question

I am currently able to install the release apk from app bundle to a connected device using the BundleTool. Is there a way to extract the apks from the .apks zip so that I can share it with someone to run on its device. I also tried to get apk from a json configuration file as mentioned in the Bundletool utility but I am getting one base apk and few other apks so how should I go for installing it on a remote device. I tried installing base apk and the app crashed when I launched the app.

So basically I need to know how can I extract an apk from an app bundle without having to connect the device.

Answer 1

I found the answer but was late to post it. So its a small addition to the answer mentioned by @Emad.

--mode=universal

This will general a universal APK with all the modules included, the size of the build will be high but now the build can be shared without having the device being connected.

You can check bundle tool click here

For Debug apk command,

bundletool build-apks --bundle=/MyApp/my_app.aab --output=/MyApp/my_app.apks

For Release apk command,

bundletool build-apks --bundle=/MyApp/my_app.aab --output=/MyApp/my_app.apks
--ks=/MyApp/keystore.jks
--ks-pass=file:/MyApp/keystore.pwd
--ks-key-alias=MyKeyAlias
--key-pass=file:/MyApp/key.pwd
