Doubts with the packaging of RPA files in Android distribution

#1 Post by CharlieFuu69 » Sat Feb 15, 2020 9:36 pm

Hi everyone!.
This is a rookie doubt that I need to clarify. I have tried to make distributions of my game, and wow, the RPA file system works great for Windows distributions.

The issue is when I do the packaging for Android. Assets continue unpacked in folders with the naked eye (I verified this with APK Editor).

Is there a way to also handle RPA files for an Android distribution?... Or is it a function available only for computer distributions?

I believe its not available on Android due to how Android works. I don't know much about archiving.
