Android App Bundle not unpacked properly

[chrisboyle]

Spun out from #461. I've worked around this by uploading an old-style monolithic APK for now, but I assume that won't be supported forever. I already used Android App Bundle for the October 2018 update without such widespread problems, so I don't know what's changed.

What's supposed to happen is Google ships a few smaller apks to your device e.g.

• base.apk
• split_config.en.apk
• split_config.x86.apk (x86 or arm64 or arm etc. depending on what you have)
• split_config.xxhdpi.apk

In the failing cases, Google has shipped the right set of files, and the architecture-specific one (x86 in my example here) does contain the two files I need, but the device has not unpacked it for some reason. This differs from a manual APK install in which everything is immediately unpacked from that one APK.

I uploaded today's release as an Android App Bundle and it seems to work fine. If anyone encounters similar missing file issues then we can reopen.
