Here's a quick rundown of Buildbox 3.4.2 New Features!

Android App Bundle (AAB) Support

Google is officially switching over from APK to Android App Bundle (AAB) as their default Android app format for all new apps or games. So, we added AAB format support in Buildbox 3.4.2 to help our creators continue publishing incredible Android-based games. You can learn more about this new format on Google's Android Developers Blog right here.

Android 32-Bit Support

In Buildbox 3.4.2, we also added support for Android 32-Bit. 32-Bit apps generally require less memory space to run on mobile devices than standard 64-Bit applications. Previously, Buildbox 3 only supported 64-Bit, but you now have both options with this latest release.
