I have an Android app that is written in Native C++ (NOT Xamarin) and uses Gradle. I have been unable to get VS 2022 to create a .aab, it only creates a .apk. How can I get VS and Gradle to package my app into a .abb? I have only been able to find information for a Xamarin project but not the Native C++ project. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Paul Mathias,
If you want to use C++ to create an Android project in VS, I suggest you refer to this document.
This article describes how to install the tools and third-party software required to develop cross-platform apps in C++ using Visual Studio.
Regarding how to generate .aab file, I suggest you refer to this method.
