Support Android App Bundle

“Android App Bundle format” is required for the new Android application release format from August 2021. In addition, updates to apps that have already been published on the Google Play Store will be mandatory from November 2021.

Along with this, “App Bundle format” has been added to the Android package format in Monaca. The “App Bundle format” is available for Cordova 9.0 and later projects.

In Monaca, the default setting of package type for a new project is “App Bundle format”. For existing projects, you can change the build format of the app by following the steps below.

1.Open Build Environment Settings

From the Monaca Cloud IDE menu, select “Build” → “Build Environment Settings”.

2. Check Android package type
