Android Asset Packaging Tool 2.0 (AAPT2) release notes

Version 2.2

aapt2 compile ...

Version 2.1

aapt2 link ...

  • Configuration Split APK support: supports splitting resources that match a set of configurations to a separate APK which can be loaded alongside the base APK on API 21+ devices. This is done using the flag --split path/to/split.apk:<config1>[,<config2>,...].
  • SDK version resource filtering: Resources with an SDK version qualifier that is unreachable at runtime due to the minimum SDK level declared by the AndroidManifest.xml are stripped.

Version 2.0

aapt2 compile ...

  • Pseudo-localization: generates pseudolocalized versions of default strings when the --pseudo-localize option is specified.
  • Legacy mode: treats some class of errors as warnings in order to be more compatible with AAPT when --legacy is specified.
  • Compile directory: treats the input file as a directory when --dir is specified. This will emit a zip of compiled files, one for each file in the directory. The directory must follow the Android resource directory structure (res/values-[qualifiers]/file.ext).

  • Automatic attribute versioning: adds version qualifiers to resources that use attributes introduced in a later SDK level. This can be disabled with --no-auto-version.
  • Min SDK resource filtering: removes resources that can't possibly be selected at runtime due to the application's minimum supported SDK level.
