I am using a lot the fact that expo publish allows OTA ("over the air") updates without the need to go through the normal publishing in the stores (more info in my previous question Do OTA updates in Expo get in motion on the first opening after brand new download from the stores?).
Now I am moving from APK to Android App Bundle, so that I build with:
expo build:android -t app-bundle
Instead of the previous expo build:android -t apk, as described in Expo's documentation Building Standalone Apps.
However, in the article Publishing of their site I also read:
Some native configuration can't be updated by publishing
- Increment the Expo SDK Version
(...)- Change your bundled assets under assetBundlePatterns
So now I am left wondering: if I publish in the stores with an ".aab" file (Android App Bundle), will it also be available for OTA updates through expo publish?
