I first see this notion "signed Android App Bundles AAB" on Bitrise. Can someone explain to me what is an signed AAB ? I only know: signed APK, unsigned APK and AAB. Thank you.

    It is the *"new"* [Android App Bundles](https://developer.android.com/guide/app-bundle) – Gabriele Mariotti Oct 08 '19 at 14:03

    In the most basic terms, Its the same as a signed APK but instead it is a SIgned AAB so its a certified/signed AAB – Ruben Meiring Oct 08 '19 at 14:20
  • if `signingConfig` is set, `bundleRelease` task will output a signed aab ? – Anh-Tuan Mai Oct 08 '19 at 14:22
  • Android App Bundles is a fantastic way to do apps, whilst it can have some signing benefits the real major difference I found was the way it deals with splitting APKs. Bundles deals with this for you completely, which allows for your app to have less resources, run a tiny bit faster, install faster and just be a smaller installed APK size. – apmartin1991 Oct 08 '19 at 15:12

There are unsigned AAB and signed AAB. I did not understand that we can sign an AAB.
