I agree. That would give us the best of both worlds.
AppStudio 8.5.5 has been released. It has a new property in the Cordova and VoltBuilder section called Android Package Type. Can be set to apk or bundle (which makes the aab file). Only valid when making a release build.

I am not able to install 8.5.5. Uninstall previous version and install 8.5.5 takes a lot of time. Tried twice.
AS always tells me that version 8.5.4 is not up to date.
Windows or Mac?
Windows 10, current version
I have an idea. Could you try downloading again?
Downloaded again. Version is still 8.5.4. Installed anyway. Result: 8.5.4
I think we’ve found the problem. Give it another try!

This really should be another thread - it’s a completely different problem than the original topic. Could you post it separately so others who have the same problem can find it?
OK. 8.5.5 is installed. VoltBuilder build still with errors. I will report as soon as more important jobs are done.

This morning I tried again with VoltBuilder. Looks like similar error as with previous AS version.

In Project Properties, Cordova and VoltBuilder, what do you have Android Package Type set to? It should be bundle.
This is a new property, added in 8.5.5.
Sorry. I had forgotten to set bundle. With bundle setting I get this log:

I think VoltBuilder has done its job properly, and the problem is with how your Play Store is configured. You might want to check with Google’s support for help with this.
May I repeat my suggestion to make the bundle downloadable locally. So one could upload the aab oneself manually to Play Store and better see why Play Store does not accept it.
