What is the best way to add/create obb files to get past the Android 50Mb app size limit?

I have now got to the point where I need to split my app resources so that I can upload (app.APK and Extension.APK) onto the Android PlayStore, because the app has well and truly passed the 50Mb app limit.

Simply put... I have the app, which is only a few Mb's, but I also have many html files with images, that need to be accessed off line because my users are often not near a phone signal.

Currently these files are located at follows:

MyApp/Resources/windows/HTML/

So far, I have made an obb file from the HTML folder using the terminal of Appcelerator Studio as follows:

jobb -d Documents/TitaniumWorkspace/MyApp/Resources/windows/HTML/ -o appname.obb -k password -pn com.company.appname -pv 8 -v

This creates an APK extension file of my HTML folder!

I then have removed the files from within the HTML folder and created a second APK file which I assumed would be the primary APK file to be uploaded along with the above extension.

This method is not working.... I am obviously missing something that is needed links the two APK's or I'm doing something else wrong.

I believe that I'm not alone with this problem.... Could you please advise?

Is there any way for this to be done within Studio?
