Are release signing key credentials required to set up expansion files?

Are release keystore credentials required to create an expansion file for an Android app?

I wish to move larger assets into an expansion file (.obb) to bring the APK within the 100Mb limit Google Play imposes. These assets are videos and audio files in .mp4, .m4a, and .wav formats.

Solution

  • No, this is not an APK, it's just data (assets, audio...) so signing is not required since it doesn't get installed.
