How to create a release apk that can be installed on device about android-modular-architecture HOT 2 CLOSED

@bobthekingofegypt I had the same problem.
Please read this post and this thread. I tried differents ways until I found this gradle task: packageProdReleaseUniversalApk

But you need to do the follow before:

• add COIL to app dependencies list
• set instant false in all features and change dist:fusing from false to true
• add this proguard rules to app module -keep class com.vmadalin.** { *; }

also this approach works:

1. run this gradle task: packageProdReleaseBundle
2. download this bundletool.jar.zip unzip it and just to prove that works put everythings in a folder (bundletool.jar, your aab file and store key)
3. edit properly and run this command: java -jar bundletool-all.jar build-apks --bundle=app-prod-release.aab --output=app-prod-release.apks --mode=universal --ks=mykeyfile.jks --ks-pass=pass:mypass --ks-key-alias='my alias' --key-pass=pass:mypass
4. rename app-prod-release.apks to app-prod-release.zip
5. unzip app-prod-release.zip
6. run your app-prod-release.apk in your android device

Sorry for the delay regarding this issue, but I haven't the time to dedicate to this project. First of all, thank you @bobthekingofegypt for your bug reporting and also @tidoemanuele for the research. Following the google recommendations about how to test dynamic delivery:

Important:

The easiest way to test applications using dynamic delivery is to use internal app sharing. This allows you to distribute a link directly to the beta tester of your apk or app bundle, independently on the version number. This works even for debug build!
You can find more information in the documentation

Basically you cannot test them generating an old format .apk, for this reason, you should generate a .aab and upload it to google play console. I tested this but it still don't work because the following conflict between Dynamic Features, Data Binding and MinifyEnabled (nickbutcher/plaid#764), but you can easily fix the below line on the proguard-rules.pro:

-keep class **.DataBinderMapperImpl { *; }

I hope i can help you with, if not please reopen the ticket. Thank you
