Description

As a software engineer I would like to be able to use Copy-to option when my app is Abi Split. For example Preview app is Abi Split and this limitation is causing us to manually copying apks, but this method is error prone because the path could be changed with every release.

Start by locating the CLI's existing Copy-to option and its handling of Android ABI Split apps. Use the Preview app example to trace how APK paths are selected; done means Copy-to works without manually copying release-specific APK paths.
