REST Resource: edits.expansionfiles

  • An ExpansionFile resource defines the configuration for expansion files associated with an APK in Google Play.

  • It allows an APK to either reference another APK's expansion file or have its own expansion file uploaded.

  • Developers can manage expansion files using methods like get, patch, update, and upload to retrieve, modify, or add expansion file configurations for their APKs.

  • The referencesVersion and fileSize fields in the JSON representation determine if an APK references another expansion file or has its own uploaded file with the specified size.
