A python script that runs apktool on a list of APK files. The goal of this tool is to simplify decompiling a large list of APK files.
It takes a list of APK files (text file that contains a list of apk path names or comma separated APK path names) as input and spawns a number of worker processes where each process runs apktool on each apk file, saves the unpacked apk file as packageName-versionCode, and stores the decoded APKs under a single parent directory.
You must download the following tools and edit the config file (apktool_executor.config) with their full path names:
- apktool version 2.0 or higher.
- Android aapt. This is required to obtain the package name and version code of the APK file and use that as the name of the decoded APK directory. To download aapt, download the Android SDK Tools, and you can find aapt under
sdk/build-tools/VERSION_NUMBER/aapt.
$ python apktool_executor.py -h
Usage: python apktool_executor.py <apk_path_file | comma_separated_apk_path_names> target_directory [options]
Options:
--version show program's version number and exit
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-p PROCESSES, --processes=PROCESSES
the number of worker processes to use. Default is the
number of CPUs in the system.
-w FRAMEWORK_DIR, --framework=FRAMEWORK_DIR
forces apktool to use framework files located in
<FRAMEWORK_DIR>.
-t TAG, --tag=TAG forces apktool to use framework files tagged by <TAG>.
-s, --no-src Do not decode sources.
-r, --no-res Do not decode resources.
-l FILE, --log=FILE write logs to FILE.
-v, --verbose increase verbosity.
