Development Programming & Scripting

Does Anyone Know What Going On? Google Has Declared That Only AAB Files Can Be Uploaded, And I Don’t Know How To Go About Doing That, My Game Should Be 500+mb When Built, But The Game Builds With Apk, Obb And AAB Files,
Im Not Sure Whats Going On,
The Abb Can Be Around 40-90mb, But Ofcourse Is That My Whole Game? If Not, How Would I Go About Exporting My Whole Game?
So Many Questions, I Want To Be Able To Send My Game To Publishers, If Published, They Would Have To Face The Same Challenges, If Solution Is Found It Will Be Well To Post It Here.

If Anyone Has Idea, It Would Be Nice To Share It.

Currently, I Am Doing A Test, I Uploaded The Aab Or Abb What Ever They Call It And Am Downloading It To See If It Runs, If It Does Perfect, And Only 90mb, From A 500mb Apk And Obb, Checking If The Aab Runs As Intended,

Even Thou The Aab Is Around 96mb The Downlaod is Actually 200mb, So, I Got Some High Hopes This Will Be Working As Exactly As It Should

Currently It Gave Error, No obb Found And No Store Key, If IT Find Obb Then It Finds Store Key I Image, Must Find A Way To Upload Obb With The aab,

Currently Im Using GooglePad Method Of Doing It:

As Shown In Documentations And Video

I Think I Found A Way To Make It Work, The Aab With The Tutorial And Documentation, I Made A Data Asset, Opened It Named IT Chunks Id to 1 And Then I Selected The Levels, Then Asset Action And Set Levels Chunk Id to 1 And Then I Did Other Option Checks As Video And Documents Showed, Then I Built And The Aab Was 375mb, Im Assuming This Includes The Levels And The Used Assets, Which May Help The Upload, And Since The Upload Limit Is 500mb Now WIth Aab I Think It Will Work, But Other Methods Of DOWNLOADING The Parts May Be Taken Like Fortnite If One Can With Research

It Worked With A Few Minor Glitches, Must Add Characters To The Chunk ID As Wel For Use And Such

7

I Believe You Must Add To Chunk Id Also The Summoning Aspects Of The Game, Which I Don’t Understand For The Enemies Showed Up But The Characters Didn’t, Interesting

Srry, The Error Was In The BP, Not The Method Of Building, THIS WORKS WELL! Just Issue Is IN The Level Itself Which I Must Fix Nothing To Do With The Chunks Or The Building Aab, or Anything, Purely Game Dev Side Of Things, Just Have To Save In Main Menu So I Can Spawn In levels The Characters Accordingly,

OK Just Fixed The Issue, Made The Game Save On main Menu And Added A Few Things And it Works Really Well, As Intentded, Now To Build And Check, And It Should Work, Great,
