yes definitely! A pure python fast APK parser would be great to have. I think specifically directly parsing the binary _AndroidManifest.xml_ without first converting to XML would be the biggest...

doesn't pyxmlparser convert to XML first? Or does it have a way to directly read values from the binary without the intermediate XML conversion?

When I looked into it, it looked totally possible to directly parse values out of the binary AndroidManifest.xml without thinking about XML at all. The most important frequently used values...

Right. Parsing the `` tag as fast as possible is the most important. It would be great to have super fast parsing of the whole AndroidManifest.xml. avast has something similar...

I'm not sure exactly when it changed, it could have been a while ago since I haven't been too active working on Android things recently. Here's the lint check code:...

I have no opinion of whether it is needed or not. I'm just reporting that Android is calling it a requirement, and they added a _lint_ check to enforce it.

So here's more info on the use case: * Dev who does not know anything about ca/fr/lt/sk puts their Android app on Weblate. * Dev sets up standard Android _lint_...

As far as I know, the lint rules are not configurable beyond enable/disable across the project. I don't think that Weblate should be configurable for the Android strings.xml unless Android...

Based on the info here, my guess is that they added support for `many` to support strings with decimal numbers in them. Seems like just an incremental improvement to their...

If you want to go the conversion route, I recommend using [po4a](https://po4a.org), a 20 year old project for doing just that. It recently got some key improvements in v0.58. Its...
