bundletool: Generate a device specification JSON file for an emulator or device.
$ bundletool get-device-spec --output=${filename-json}
try on your machine

The command "bundletool get-device-spec --output=${filename-json}" is used to fetch the device specifications and save them in a JSON file.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "bundletool": This is the name of the command-line tool that is being executed. Bundletool is an Android tool used to manipulate Android App Bundles.

  • "get-device-spec": This is the specific action being performed by the bundletool command.

  • "--output=${filename-json}": This is a flag argument provided to the command. It specifies the output file where the device specifications will be saved, using the placeholder ${filename-json}. You need to replace this placeholder with the desired filename and extension (e.g., "device-specs.json").

By running this command, bundletool will retrieve the specifications of the connected Android device and write them to a JSON file specified in the "--output" flag. These specifications typically include device features, screen characteristics, supported languages, and more.
