App apk size exceed 100mb. How to upload it on PlayStore?

Question

App apk size around 145 MB. It Contains 9-10 gif Images around 100 MB.So,I can't upload app on google play store.

So I am trying to implement app bundle by using this link:- https://medium.com/@AndreSand/android-app-bundle-96ac16b36875

app bundle makes successful with .aab extension but its size is not less and when I try to upload it on google play store it gives an error that some apk file size has more than 100 MB.

App bundles are definitely the right approach but may not solve your problem. Try to use a comprised version of GIF or cache them from the network. Bundling this much large file into APK may not sound good. — Milind Mevada, Dec 27 '18 at 12:00
You can use expansion files https://developer.android.com/google/play/expansion-files — Oussema Aroua, Dec 27 '18 at 12:05

Google Play currently requires that your APK file be no more than 100MB. For most applications, this is plenty of space for all the application's code and assets. However, some apps need more space for high-fidelity graphics, media files, or other large assets. Previously, if your app exceeded 100MB, you had to host and download the additional resources yourself when the user opens the app. Hosting and serving the extra files can be costly, and the user experience is often less than ideal. To make this process easier for you and more pleasant for users, Google Play allows you to attach two large expansion files that supplement your APK.

Read APK Expansion Files.

FYI

The new app publishing format, the Android App Bundle, is a more efficient way to build and release your app. The Android App Bundle lets you more easily deliver a great experience in a smaller app size.

will be more better to upload low size APk otherwise user will never download app from play store. if you have large images or gifs and you don't have server then you can use firebase storege where you can easily store your files and fetch . where you can upload your file and get images paths .
