Important note: starting August 2021, Google Play will require new apps and updates to existing apps published on the Android Google Play Store to use the Android App Bundle (AAB) package format. 

Starting from that date, you will need to make sure that the AAB (Android App Bundle) option is selected in the Package Format section. If you previously set the APK (Android Package) format, which will no longer be supported by the Play Store starting August 2021, just switch to the AAB (Android App Bundle) option, then, once you have completed the configuration, start the package generation process by clicking on the Generate Build button.

Note that the APK format will still be available, but can only be used if you publish the branded app using your Mobile Device Management (MDM) system (if supported by the MDM).
