Rapt should made Android App Bundles from now on to support 64 bit architecture.

Long story short. Rapt currently makes 32 bit apks. I have the latest version of renpy and we need to just build it all as Android App Bundles (AABs) from now on. Furthermore, Google Play will opt to sign the Android App Bundles.

https://developer.android.com/distribute/best-practices/develop/64-bit Yup, starting yesterday, we might as well just made AABs versus APKs. Because porting it from 32 to 64 bit will just make our large VNs, even larger.

Adding 64-bit architecture support to your app can cause your APK size to grow. We strongly recommend taking advantage of the Android App Bundle feature to minimize the size impact of including both 32- and 64-bit native code in the same APK.

For the android port I am workong on, I literally had this issue brought up and I solved it by opening rapt in Android Studio and making it as an Android App Bundle.

Even if your VN is huge like 700 Mbs. It will shrink it down to 17 Mbs. To learn how this works, click here
