Google Play Bundle

What it does

The Android App Bundle is Google Play's new serving model which generates and serves APKs for individual user configuration. Buddy lets developers automatically sign and push Bundles on every change to code.

How it works

The action identifies a signed app Bundle in the pipeline filesystem and pushes it to Google Play Store.
