📂 Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Unzip APK

java -jar apktool_2.5.0.jar d test.apk -s -o decompile_apk -f

2. Compile Resources

aapt2.exe compile --dir decompile_apk\res -o res.zip

3. Link Resources

Replace variables with your values:

aapt2.exe link --proto-format -o base.zip -I android.jar --manifest decompile_apk\AndroidManifest.xml \
--min-sdk-version 7 --target-sdk-version 30 --version-code 1 --version-name 1.0 \
-R res.zip --auto-add-overlay

4. Prepare Final AAB Structure

Unzip base.zip, and prepare directory as below:

base/
├── assets/
├── dex/
├── lib/
├── manifest/AndroidManifest.xml
├── res/
├── root/
│   └── kotlin/
└── resources.pb

5. Create base.zip

From inside /base folder:

jar cMf base.zip manifest dex res root lib assets resources.pb

6. Generate AAB

From your tools directory:

java -jar bundletool.jar build-bundle --modules=base.zip --output=base.aab

🎉 Your .aab file is ready!
📌 Don't forget to sign it with your keystore before publishing to Play Store.
