Since we launched the Android App Bundle in May 2018, we’ve seen our developer community embrace this new standard to benefit from streamlined releases and advanced distribution features. There are now over 1 million apps using app bundles in production, including the majority of the top 1,000 apps and games on Google Play such as Adobe, Duolingo, Gameloft, Netflix, redBus, Riafy, and Twitter.

Così Google terrà al sicuro le chiavi private di chi pubblica applicazioni (ed i loro aggiornamenti) su Google Play. Potrà così decidere autonomamente di aggiornare una applicazione. E visto che Google Play autentica gli utenti, potrà farlo in maniera "personalizzata". Per la sicurezza dell'utente, si intende. Cosa mai potrebbe andare storto? Giacomo
