# Gradle & Building
|
|
|
|
## `build.gradle` (Module)
|
|
|
|
```gradle
|
|
android {
|
|
|
|
defaultconfig{
|
|
|
|
applicationId <string> // app package name
|
|
|
|
minSdkVersion <int> // min API version
|
|
targetSdkVersion <int> // actual API version
|
|
|
|
versionCode <int> // unique code for each release
|
|
versionName "<string>"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Distributing the app
|
|
|
|
### APK vs Bundle
|
|
|
|
- APK: android executable, contains all assets of the app (multiple versions for each device). The user downloads all the assets.
|
|
- Bundle: split the assets based on device specs. The users downloads only the assets needed for the target device.
|
|
|
|
### APK generation & [App Signing](https://developer.android.com/studio/publish/app-signing)
|
|
|
|
- **Key store path**: location where the keystore file will be stored.
|
|
- **Key store password**: secure password for the keystore (**to be remembered**).
|
|
- **Key alias**: identifying name for the key (**to be remembered**).
|
|
- **Key password**: secure password for the key (**to be remembered**).
|
|
|
|
The keystore identifies the app and it's developers. It's needed for APK generation and releases distribution.
