Generating signed bundle requires you to update the android gradle plugin to version 3.2.0 or higher.

Generating signed bundles requires you to update the android gradle plugin to version 3.2.0 or higher.

The Android Gradle Plugin is used to build Android applications. It provides support for various features like building, testing, and packaging the app. The plugin version should be compatible with the features and enhancements needed for generating signed bundles.

To update the Android Gradle Plugin, you need to modify the ‘build.gradle’ file in your application module. Here’s an example of how to update the plugin version:

    
      buildscript { 
        repositories { 
          google() 
          jcenter() 
        } 
        dependencies { 
          classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.0'
        } 
      } 
    
  

In the ‘dependencies’ section, you specify the classpath for the Android Gradle Plugin. By setting it to ‘3.2.0’ (or higher version), you ensure that the plugin version is updated.

Once you have updated the plugin version, you can generate signed bundles using the Android Studio’s ‘Generate Signed Bundle’ option. This option allows you to create a signed AAB (Android App Bundle) file which can be published on the Google Play Store. The bundle includes optimized APKs for various device configurations.
