  1/- It's a question of your marketing strategy, I always put the minimum version required by google
  2.aab Tip: Do not rush to click on the 'create a new upnload key'(ключ завантаження) menu -There is a hidden 'use old key' menu (I use Ukrainian google so your menu may be called different)
  3.Here is my latest game of mineswipeer
  
  
  Aab reduces the file size for the user, and the number of devices is the same as for apk

  What @oleg said.
  
  Plus... I target 29, I use aar when uploading to google (amazon still want apk), google somehow already 'knew' the key for an existing game so nothing to do there, I don't disable any versions in the requires.

  I meant that when you first create the upload key, Google will know it for future updates
  
  
  @Apollo14 The screenshot shows you disable libraries, you do not need to turn off libraries in 'aab', Google will turn them off during optimization.

  @oleg what's your secret??
  You have 13k supported devices.
  And I have only 12k.
  (I also target api28, also build app bundle, also leave all 64/32/86/arm libs enabled)

  If you target TV you should add controller support, plus then submit it to the TV team for them to approve it.
