I uploaded an aab to the play console and finally got it listed on the play store. This app was written in Python and Kivy, and I was able to generate the aab by first running buildozer then running the script through Android Studio by following various instructions around the net.

I can download an apk from the play console which is generated from the aab, and it works just fine. However, when I install the app from the play store it closes as soon as it opens. However, I dont get a true crash report.

This is my first real app, and I'm a little lost on how to proceed.

Questions:

1. Any idea what's going on here?
2. What's the difference between the apk generated from the play console vs whatever is installed from the play store?
3. How can I diagnose this issue if I don't have access to the apk with the issue?

Use Firebase Crashlytics, it logs crashes in the firebase console. You can use it in cases you can't access the apk. It requires some setup but is pretty easy. In your case, however, I think you can see the stacktrace in Android Studio if you set no filter and manually search for your app in LogCat.

Rather than aab upload file in .apk it will properly run.It is not good scenario to use apk bcz it increase the app size.When we use aab file to upload some files are not working bcz of this crash occurs.
