Google has announced it is moving away from the APK format for Android apps.
So when it was announced that Google was moving away from APKs on Android, in favor of Android Play Bundles, my mind went to one very particular place.
Google has officially announced it is moving away from APKs to Android Play Bundles.
For official Android builds-Android Play Bundles will be the only supported format, which can only be found in the Google Play Store.
Unless Google does something now, Android could become a veritable playground for hackers and thieves.
Google may have other reasons for migrating away from APKs.
