pyapktool

pyapktool is a Python command line utility that can help speed up common actions usually performed when reverse engineering Android apps:

  • It can unpack Android app's apk file and extract all of its content (Smali code, libs, layouts XMLs etc.)
  • It can pack an unpacked Android app's directory, back to an apk file (which usually happens after you create any modification/patching to the app)
  • It can sign a packed apk(by default-with debug keys. This is a required step in order to install your modified apk to any Android device)
  • No other prerequisite libraries installation/tools are needed to use this tool. It will download/update any required tool (apktool, apk-signer) automatically if needed.

pyapktool is available on PyPI:

$ python -m pip install pyapktool

How to use

Unpacking an apk file (output will be located in a directory named 'myapp') :

$ pyapktool myapp.apk

Packing an unpacked Android app's directory, back to an apk file, and signing it with debug keys:

$ pyapktool myapp
