- Google Play hosts the expansion files for your app and serves them to the device at no cost to you. The expansion files can be any format you choose (ZIP, PDF, MP4, etc.) and they usually contain additional resources required by your app.
To make it simple, XAPK = APK + OBB data + Cache + App Icon and Miscellaneous Info.
