　　FAQ:

　　What is an APK file?

　　APK (Android Package) is a standard packaging format used to distribute and install applications on Android devices. APK files are officially recognized by Google and can be installed through the default downloader on Android devices.

　　What is an XAPK file?

　　XAPK files are similar to APK files but more complex. This standard compressed format can include an Android App Bundle consisting of multiple APK files or separate OBB files and other assets.

　　In simple terms, there are two formats for XAPK files:

　　XAPK = Android App Bundle (Base APK + Config APK)

　　XAPK = APK file + OBB data file

　　What are the advantages of XAPK files?

　　XAPK files help save significant data when downloading or transferring large applications on phones or tablets. They also save time and enable seamless downloading and installation of region-restricted apps.

　　What is an Android App Bundle and its purpose?

　　An Android App Bundle is a new upload format that contains optimized APK files for users, such as base APKs, dynamic feature APKs, config APKs, and multiple APKs for devices that do not support config APKs.

　　What is an OBB file and its purpose?

　　Google Play requires that compressed APK sizes do not exceed 100 MB.

This XAPK format ensures that users can smoothly download large files without interruptions or failures.

　　OBB file storage location and filename format:

　　<shared-storage>/Android/obb/<package-name>/[main|patch].<expansion-version>.<package-name>.obb
