Hi @SamW0799,

Recently we've added support for building Android App Bundle directly from mobile channel:

  1. Go to your mobile channel.
  2. Open Android build panel.
  3. Select "Build Android App Bundle (Google Play)" checkbox.
  4. Build your application, wait until process completes.
  5. Click "Download this app" and save aab file on your desktop.
  6. You can use this aab file for Google Play Store submission.

Please note that this feature is available only for Pega Platform 8.5+.

@SamW0799 This capability was added to the Pega Platform recently and it is available in the newest patch 8.5.5.

Could you please upgrade your environment to the most recent patch version?

Hello @KoriK978, it's recommended to upgrade to the latest Infinity versions before updating the mobile application in the Play Store. Pega 8.3 entered the 'extended support' stage which means new capabilities are no longer backported to this version. No more 8.3 patches will be released besides hotfixes for security vulnerabilities and system outages. For more details please refer to https://community.pega.com/knowledgebase/articles/keeping-current-pega/86/pega-software-maintenance-and-extended-support-policy
