How to create App bundle for beta for release?

In the console, I see different versions of the application, but I don't quite understand how I can create an App Bundle beta in the Android Studio.
For example I am trying to create from Android Studio in this way:
Build -> Build Bundle(s)/APk -> Build Bundle(s)
Q: How i can create beta?

The version names which you show in your screenshot are all derived only from versionName property in your app module's build.gradle file. It does not matter in which Google Play Store release channel you put your app. The version name for your APK / AAB does not change.
If you want to create a version with a -beta suffix, you will need to actually add it to the version name value and create an APK / AAB.
Google Play store allows you to specify an own version name which will be visible in the store listing. You can do this when you create a release. But it won't affect the actually version name that is packaged with the APK / AAB.
Automatically change version name based on flavor or build type
It is however possible to automatically change the versionName (and applicationId) based on the flavor and / or build type. You can add a suffix to the version name with versionNameSuffix. This makes sense for example if you want to easily destinguish production, staging and acceptance test versions which you list in your example.
android{
...
flavorDimensions "default"
productFlavors {
production {
dimension "default"
}
staging {
dimension "default"
versionNameSuffix "-staging"
}
acceptance {
dimension "default"
versionNameSuffix "-acceptance"
}
}
}

Specify versionName in your gradle file here is the docs

Unable to reduce APK size

What am I missing?

In gradle code above,minifyenabled and shrinkresources are true for debug build,please check if you are building apk in release variant.
Other mechanisms to reduce apk size is to convert drawables to webp format as below.
select drawables and right click to get as below.
Then select lossy or lossless encoding because some drawables can't be converted into webp with lossless.

Do you have any ideas what I could try next? Any idea is welcome, I have no clue what else I could try. I keep developing, but I can't build it anymore, which makes it quit hard.

I don't really know what's the problem. I tried to search on google finding few solutions.
Only thing I came up with is please add the following line in your App level build.gradle.
configurations {
cleanedAnnotations
compile.exclude group: 'org.jetbrains' , module:'annotations'
}
Hope that will be helpful. I'm waiting for your answer.

Your error is org.intellij.lang.annotations.JdkConstants$PatternFlags 3

Maybe you can use this
