How to generate Android App Bundle with C++ builder 11.2?

I can not figure how to generate an Android App Bundle with C++ builder 11.2.

At this stage, I'm just checking all the steps of an android app creation, from scratch up to Google Play beta testing.

For this purpose, I wrote a very simple piece of code (one TButton with one TLabel).

I compiled the code with the following options:

• platform android 32bits
• SDK API 31 32bits
• release
• configuration development

C++ builder generates an APK which runs smoothly on my phone which is great!

My next step is to download the app on the Google Play store. I have created a Google Play store developer account for this test however I'm stuck as I can not upload the apk file as Google Play accepts Android App Bundle files only.

I have googled and found some information about generating AAB files with Delphi and the Android 64 platform here <https://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/Alexandria/en/Submitting_Your_Android_App_to_Google_Play> however I can not duplicate this with C++ builder 11.2

There is no 64bits android platform available (despite the 64bits SDK being installed) and I can not find any relevant option in the project options related to AAB files.

I have also compiled the app with the "Application Store" option but I could not find any AAB file in my project.

What am I doing wrong?

C++Builder 11.2 does not compile for 64-bit Android. See Supported Target Platforms.

There is an open RSP ticket about this: RSP-24562: 64-bit Android C++

I believe this is as a major weakness with the current RAD Studio development system, and I would suggest all users encourage Embarcadero to get the Android 64-bit C++ compiler up and running.
