Feature request: parse aab format
https://developer.android.com/guide/app-bundle/app-bundle-format
It seems that there is just one more base folder compared to apk:
@sunnylqm I tried to parse the AAB file base on the current version. It seems not just one more folder. The AAB file's AndroidManifest.xml has a different chunk type compare to APK file, that make a parse error in xml-parser/binary.js. I will try it later but no sure when it will be resolved(because I'm working for a busy project).
@sunnylqm I just checked some document of AAB file and found that things are more complicated than we thought.
Refer to this document.
The manifest.xml in AAB file is compiled with a protocol buffer format different from apk's manifest.xml(binary format).
It means that we need the detail of protocol buffer format to parse AAB file's manifest.xml. Unfortunately, I didn't find it.
If you can find or provide the protocol, I think I can resolve the issue with the protocol.
i think it means this one https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers right?
@sunnylqm Yes, that's it. But we also need the proto file or json of the xml to decode it. Here is a js tool to decode protocol buffer format content: protobufjs. I have no idea about the structure of the manifest.xml's proto.

@sunnylqm Thanks for your help. I parsed it success just now, is this result you want:
{
"element": {...},
"source": {...}
}
@sunnylqm I had simplified the result, because the original result is too long.
@sunnylqm OK, I have removed the parse result. I still should take a while to write the final version. Be patient, not sure for the finish time. Thanks for your help and support again!
