App Bundles Commands

App bundles combine an app version with associated files that should be deployed together. These commands manage the creation, upload, and management of app bundles.

Folder Structure and Device Paths: The APK file and bundle folder are provided separately. Files in your bundle folder are automatically mapped to device paths under /sdcard/. The folder structure is preserved:

• Files in the root folder → /sdcard/
• Files in subfolders → /sdcard/{subfolder_path}/

You can optionally specify a custom base path using --device-path to map files under a subdirectory of /sdcard/.

Example (default mapping):

bundle-folder/
  config.json                → /sdcard/config.json
  data/
    user.json                → /sdcard/data/user.json
    cache/
      temp.dat               → /sdcard/data/cache/temp.dat

Example (with --device-path myapp/config):

bundle-folder/
  config.json                → /sdcard/myapp/config/config.json
  data/
    user.json                → /sdcard/myapp/config/data/user.json

Hash-Based Deduplication: The CLI automatically detects and reuses existing builds and files based on their content hash (SHA-256 for builds, SHA-512 for files). This means:

• Uploading the same APK multiple times only stores it once
• Files that haven't changed are reused across bundles
• Only new or modified files are uploaded, saving time and bandwidth

Subcommands

upload

• Usage: abxr-cli app_bundles upload <app_id> <apk_path> <bundle_folder> [--version-number VERSION] [-n NOTES] [--device-path PATH]

  • --device-path: Optional device path relative to /sdcard for bundle files (e.g., "myapp/config").
• Description: Upload an APK and all bundle files from a folder, then finalize the bundle. Bundle labels are auto-generated by the system. Automatically reuses existing builds and files based on hash matching for faster uploads.
