Hi
From Visualizer side there is no such option. To optimize the APK, please follow the below link to learn more about the same.

This answer might help.
Hi, the link you shared won't work since it's a private discussion. Let me tag @Joe Axwvhvm who can help share the info.
Thanks @Adwivn Russell
Kony has offered app bundle generation support from "V8 SP4 Fixpack 12 GA onwards"
For older releases you can import the generated native android project into Android studio(pick latest available)
and use "Build > Generate Signed Bundle" option to generate app bundle.
Native Android project generated is available under below paths

Thank you. I'll go through and get back with questions, if any
#Updated with some more steps to support 32 and 64 bit simultaneously while generating app bundle
Kony has offered app bundle generation support from "V8 SP4 Fixpack 12 GA onwards"
https://docs.kony.com/konylibrary/visualizer/visualizer_user_guide/Content/Native_App_Properties.htm#AndroidAppBundle
For older releases some manual steps are needed as indicated below
1) You can import the generated native android project into Android studio(pick latest available)
and use "Build > Generate Signed Bundle" option to generate app bundle.
Native Android project generated is available under below paths
For Mobile : <workspace>\temp\<appid folder>\build\luaandroid\dist\<appid folder>\
For Tablet : <workspace>\temp\<appid folder>\build\luatabandroid\dist\<appid folder>\

2) Incase you wanted to support 32 bit and 64 bit as well.
V8 SP4 Fixpack 12 GA onwards has support for the same
https://docs.kony.com/konylibrary/visualizer/visualizer_user_guide/Content/Native_App_Properties.htm#Supportfor32-bitand64-bitArchitecturesinaSingleAPK
For older releases some manual steps are needed as indicated below
a) You would need to build the kony application twice
If you need to support x86 and x86_64 bit as well enable "Support x86" option in project properties.
=> Build 32 bit application with out enabling "Support 64-bit Devices" option in project properties.
=> Build 64 bit application by enabling "Support 64-bit Devices" option in project properties.
b) Merge the libs folder from both 32 and 64 bit Native android native projects,
specifically .so files and their architecture specific folders.
Make sure sub-dependent libraries contains all the required .so files for all supported architectures.
The sub-dependent library sources could be .aar files, gradle dependencies pulled from remote repositories
and any other libraries with source locally added by making entries in settings.gradle
c) Merge the build.gradles from both 32 and 64 bit Native android native projects
importantly ndk { abiFilters } entries needs to be merged from both build.gradle files
