I have built a app in android studio and would now like to publish it however I am very confused with the process for this. From Android studio I have generated a signed APK file which can be seen in the image below.

I see however that Google play console wants the files in the .AAB file type. How do I generate this/ what is it. The upload console can be seen below.

This is my first app upload so my questions may make no sense, please let me know in the comments below if there is anything I need to change or additional information required.

Any additional help with publishing apps on google play store will be greatly appreciated.

.AAB refers to "Android App Bundle", select Android App Bundle instead of APK after you clicked Generated Signed Bundle / APK, the rest of the procedure is more or less the same. You may refer to the official documentation for more information
