expo build:android --type app-bundle works, but upload:android fails

Expo Development Tools

Hey there,

It’s great to be able to build App bundles with expo build:android --type app-bundle, but the generated .aab file cannot get uploaded to the play store by expo upload:android.

It fails with the message (using EXPO_DEBUG=true):
Error setting value ‘/tmp/-signed.aab’ for option ‘apk’
Failed to upload the standalone app to the app store.
apk file is not an apk
Error: apk file is not an apk

Is there an undocumented option to upload app bundles to the Play Store ?

Thanks,
Jerome

Hi

It’s not implemented yet, thanks for pointing that out.
I added issue here Support app-bundles in upload:android command · Issue #768 · expo/expo-cli · GitHub, should be ready quite soon.

Cool, thanks for the quick reply. I’ve uploaded the aab manually so it’s not a blocker, but it will be very handy once it’s all integrated !

Thanks,
Jerome

It’s added in 2.20.8.

There is one more problem with stack trace you provided, path /tmp/-signed.aab should look sth like /tmp/app-21abc5ae9e83218912981ce1212-signed.aab.
Can you run this command in node?
console.log(path.basename('https://exp-shell-app-assets.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/android/@someuser/app-21abc5ae9e83218912981ce1212-signed.aab'))
This path isn’t breaking anything, but it’s behaviour we didn’t expect. What version of node are you using?

sorry I removed the full app and hash name from the trace I pasted, but it does show up as you would expect.

I’m going to upgrade to 2.20.8 to test it out

Mhhh, I’m running into expo-cli 2.20.10 publish error now…
I will retry later

I just tried with 2.21.1 and it works perfectly.
