13 Reasons Why You Should Use Google’s Android App Bundle

As an app developer, it is vital to start app publishing with Android’s official publishing platform, Android App Bundle. According to Google, Android App Bundle is “Android’s new, official publishing format that offers a more efficient way to build and release your app.” More than 100,000 apps today publish with the Android App Bundle, including NetFlix. Here are 13 reasons for app publishing with Android App Bundle.

1. Lower App size

On average, apps see 20% size savings compared to Universal APK. The app size report on the Play Console helps estimate how much could be saved in terms of size.

2. Faster Download

Any user loves to see faster downloads and customized UI for a mobile app, Google Play ensures that the app can be tailored to each device available which boosts downloads and the number of installs.

3. Native code integration

Get your app 64-bit ready without making too many changes to its size and configuration. Google Play offers native code integration as per the device.

4. Avoid multi-APK releases

5. Decrease uninstalls

With customizable device configurations & lower app size, there are fewer uninstalls since the user can tap into the best experience with the least friction.

6. Increasing installs

As releases shorten and updates roll in, UI keeps getting dynamic and more engaging. The number of installs remain steady and gradually grow with time.

7. Boost up engineering velocity

By building dynamic and independent modules, your mobile app can be built, designed, tested and released in double-quick time. The engineering velocity gets a major boost with the Android bundle.

8. Ease of code refactoring

The code refactoring is relatively easy and convenient to scale up the features of the mobile app as your app begins to grow and capture the market.

9. Modular app development

Since modules are built independent, it becomes simpler to upgrade features with each successive release.

10. Dynamic delivery options

These apps can be integrated with dynamic and modifiable delivery features like options to choose a location, user’s SDK, AR/VR features, etc.

11. Additional reporting and optimization support

When publishing with the App bundle, Play Console offers additional reporting and optimization support which is not available in other publishing platforms.

12. Security to key loss.

By opting for app sign in, Google Play ensures you get protected against key loss. Use this feature, and you can retrieve your lost key by confirming identity on Google and getting a new upload key.
