As you know, Google will change the app format starting with August, so there is still enough time for developers. Microsoft will continue as planned, with the upcoming Windows 11 Android apps with Windows Subsystem for Android and Windows Subsystem for Linux. Another big change is also pending for the Android apps themselves, meaning that at the end of June, Google confirmed that app developers would be obliged to use the new standard Android App Bundle (AAB) instead of the Android Application Package (APK). As stipulated by Google, this policy applies to new apps on the Play Store and developers will need to abandon the current APK file format for new apps. Know that, technically, Android APK apps are not being discontinued as Android will continue to support the existing format. What’s more likely is that developers will stop publishing their apps in APK format after Google begins enforcing AAB for its Play Store. In other words, this new format will eventually replace APK as the standard publishing format.
