How do you create expansion APKs with Gideros?

  1) yes export eclipse project from Gideros
  2) depends on your OS and archiving software. For me on Windows I use winrar, so I just right click on file (or files) and select archive, select zip and compression level store (no compression)

  @Tom2012 I never did that, but I'd say:
  
  1) yes - in your exported project dir you can find the assets/assets path
  
  3) I think there should be a no-compression "compression method" to choose in your compressor, like in a base tar file: in WinRar it is called Store
  [edit: Arturs was faster ]

  Thank you guys
  
  Hmm seems there's no way to do this on Mac. Will have to swap over to PC and try WinRar.

  @Tom2012 I found this on google but I don't have a Mac to try:
  
  Create zip without compression on OS X from Terminal:
  zip -r0 zipfilename.zip files-to-zip

  Thanks very kindly Pie! I've stopped being lazy and jumped onto my PC. Winrar did the job perfectly.
  
  I've created a ZIP from my large assets. As I understand it, this .zip file IS the expansion file.
  
  Am I correct in thinking that as far as expansion files go, there's no further coding required within Gideros?
  
  I looked at this page http://developer.android.com/google/play/expansion-files.html and almost decided to opt out of the Play store it was so long!
