[FEAT] Split APK support

Open DieHertz opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Hi!

Thanks for your work, using apktool and it greatly simplifies researching apps :+1:

Is Split APK support, specifically resolving APKTOOL_DUMMY_ resource names, in scope of this project? Maybe I'm missing something and it's already there? I wrote a small python script to go over split APK res XMLs and patch all the textual occurrences automatically, after that I started wondering if it should be somewhat integrated into apktool or released standalone. My goal with this script was to merge everything back into base.apk and not have to install split APKs.

@DieHertz can you share your work,? The Python script I mean.

I uploaded it to my GitHub page, you may need to tinker with APK_DIRS variable a bit for now. I also think I know how to replace BLACKLIST with removing empty entries from *.xml files, but had no time to implement it yet. https://github.com/DieHertz/split-apks-merger

There is not any support for split apks - Apktool would need an entire rewrite to be able to support the notion of split apks.

There has been a few of these requests, so I added it to the roadmap - https://github.com/iBotPeaches/Apktool/blob/master/ROADMAP.md#split-apk-support
