Support bundle Android AppStore AppSon application will eventually occur

The Amazon Appstore has been around for a long time, but it was recently highlighted with the announcement of Microsoft Windows 11. It will be a platform that will allow installing Android applications on a Windows PC, but there are still many unanswered questions, especially regarding technical implementation. Amazon AppStore itself is not really famous for its advanced features, but the giant e-commerce now makes public commitment to accelerate with the next Google Android application bundle format.

APKS has always been an Android standard package format and will remain so even with the application bundle. In short, the Android application bundle is a new publishing format that will produce apk specifically for devices, without any parts that apply to other devices but not for you. It aims to make smaller packages so that they download faster and also include provisions to download other parts of the application, such as game assets, for later.

Google promises that AABS does not really eliminate the ability of the developer to create APK for distribution in other application stores, but the App bundle format and features seem to be quite specific to use with the Google Play Store. That’s why came as a surprise that Amazon announced that it was working supporting the Android application bundle. This means that publishing on the AppStore on Amazon will be able to take advantage of the same benefits without just having to be published on the Google Play Store.

It would be interesting to see how Amazon will manage this achievement, and it does not provide a difficult date to avoid developer expectations. It will also be fully optional even for new applications, unlike on the Google Play Store where new applications need to use application bundles, no questions asked.

If Amazon managed to do this before the release of stable Windows 11, it would definitely help push the AppStore to the frontline of the Android ecosystem. Depending on how it is implemented, it can also be the biggest competition of the Google Play Store, allowing Android developers to target not only cellphones but also their PCs and seduce them towards the Amazon application ecosystem and far from Google.
