Also explanation in this post:

It is very simple with an existing app:

A new app will require an additional step (with the #IF AAB).

Thanks Erel , my situation , I opted in for Google Play will manage app signing key .(Sadly You can't undo this)

I used these sdk and vesion
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="5" android:targetSdkVersion="29"/>
version B4A 10.70.

I got this errors

Key already sent to users when .apk file uploaded

like below.

So i couldn't use the PEPK tool.:
