Description

Decodes and rebuilds Android APK files for analysis, resource inspection, localization, and debugging of app packages. It helps developers and security researchers understand APK structure without treating the package as an opaque file.

Reverse engineering may be limited by licenses, laws, and app store rules. Use it only where you have permission, and avoid handling private app data or redistributing modified APKs improperly.

How to run
