Warning message when review APK

Question

I am clicking review on my APK, but I am getting this message:

Unoptimized APK Warning:

This APK results in unused code and resources being sent to users. Your app could be smaller if you used the Android App Bundle. By not optimizing your app for device configurations, your app is larger to download and install on users' devices than it needs to be. Larger apps see lower install success rates and take up storage on users' devices.

Resolution:

Use the Android App Bundle to automatically optimize for device configurations, or manage it yourself with multiple APKs.

However I can not move forward. My app is only 5.19MB, so how do I fix? I am using Phonegbap to build my apps.

Answer 1

This is because you're generating an Apk instead of App bundle

You can read more about App bundle here: https://developer.android.com/guide/app-bundle/

Answer 2

Just finish other sections for the app: "Content Rating", "App Content" and "Pricing & distribution". Publishing function should be available after that.
