What are all the changes to apk by AGP 7.1.0?

I have just upgraded Android Studio from Arctic Fox to Bumblebee and AGP from 7.0.4 to 7.1.0
The project currently has:
The apk generated by gradle task assembleOfficialRelease for flavor "official" was in the following directory for many years:
..app/build/outputs/apk/official/release/app-official-release.apk
I assume it is the new AGP that has changed the location to:
..app/build/intermediates/apk/official/release/app-official-release.apk
I am trying to find out what else AGP has done to the apk but could not find any in the release notes.
I wonder if anyone with insights could tell me what changes the new AGP has done to the apk before I release it to users.
Update(2022-05-09)
Android Studio Chipmunk has put the apk file back to the folder ..app/build/outputs/apk/official/release/ without any notification. It killed me a lot of time again before I realized this.
I also observed this weird behavior. It seems like if you run the gradle task in Android studio, it will put the apk files in intermediates, while if you run the gradle task on command line (at least for bash on Linux), it will put the files in outputs.
The canary build of android studio with android gradle plugin 7.3.0-alpha05 seems to solve this issue.

Android Studio's Play button is not enabled

I am completely new to flutter. I am trying to build https://github.com/flutter/udacity-course/tree/master/course/02_category_widget/task_02_category_widget but the Play Button won't enable.
I tried creating an APK of the project from the command line:
flutter build apk
and
flutter install
It creates an APK and runs on my Android device. I also tried creating a new Flutter Project and the Play button is working well on that. What am I missing in this project?
Check by running flutter doctor if you have everything installed
Check that Android Studio knows where your Flutter SDK is located. File->Settings->Languages and Frameworks->Flutter

Is there a way to decode APK files in Android Studio to recover a project file?

I lost my Android Studio project; I deleted it by mistake.
I still have the apk file; is there any chance that I can get my project back using this file somehow?
It wouldn't be possible to generate the project back from APK file. You can do reverse engineering to get the code back but its not 100% useful.
