It’s worthwhile to modify your Android Gradle construct recordsdata to allow the property to be configured as an Asset Pack along with install-time/content material supply plugins

First, create a brand new module to your Android output construct undertaking and transfer the construct property content material (all of your .js .HTML recordsdata folder) to this module /property folder. You have to to create/change the construct.gradle and AndroidManifest recordsdata to your wants

construct.gradle file minimal config:

plugins {
    id 'com.android.asset-pack'
}

assetPack {
    packName = "{YOUR_MODULE_NAME}"
    dynamicDelivery {
        deliveryType = "install-time"

minimal AndroidManifest

Now, you want to modify the principle app gradle recordsdata and in addition the undertaking settings

on the construct.gradle of the principle app, you will want so as to add a number of strains:

android {
    // ... all earlier code
    
    sourceSets.fundamental {
        // ... if there's any reference right here to the trail of the construct recordsdata, take away them
    }

    assetPacks = [":{YOUR_MODULE_NAME}"]
    bundle {
        language {
            enableSplit = true
        }
        density {
            enableSplit = true
        }
        abi {

May you please share a screenshot of your undertaking construction?

Sadly, I do not need a undertaking to share beneath this group.
However wanting over the pictures you posted, you ought to be shut.

Did you add this step to your fundamental app (the alcatmist undertaking over your group)? In any other case, the principle app is not going to know this asset pack scope exists.
