I finish my first app, but i have a problem. I tried to create my APK file, but the APK file create with "Generate Signed Bundle/APK" and "Build Bundle(s)/APK - Build APK" don't work. In folder "MyApp/app" i don't see any APK file. I only see an APK file in "MyApp\app\release" with an "app.aab" and output.json" files. But when I install this APK file on my phone, the "Install" button isn't pressed.

The Generate Signed APK is fine, 'cause I get a messagge that saying the APK file is created. "Generate Signed APK APK(s) generated successfully for 1 module: Module 'app': locate or analyze the APK."

I don't know how to solve.

P.S. Sorry for my english, but I'm desperate and in a hurry.

I already tried "Generate Signed Bundle/APK" and Build Bundle(s)/APK - Build APK". They get me a APK but they don't work.

Kindly try to do as mentioned below,

1) Go to Build.

2) Generate Signed Bundle/APK(If you want a release build & have a keystore).

3)Buid Bundle(s)/APK(s), if you just need a debug build for testing or something.

4) Under the above options, you can find the Build APK option and you have to choose that for generating your APK file.

5) You can find your APK under the Your Project Folder - > app -> build - > output -> apk -> debug/release

You generated successfully apk with Android app bundle that's why it is showing .aab apk file in release folder

*An Android App Bundle is a file (with the .aab file extension) that you upload to Google Play to support Dynamic Delivery. *
