APK Explorer & Editor

An open-source APK explorer/Editor & Split APK/App bundle Installer for Android!
New in version v0.34
* Optimized main UI view sizes and introduced smoother loading animations for a more fluid experience.
* Optimized and updated the workflow—batch processing, now conveniently initiated by clicking individual item icons.
* AEE now targeting the latest Android SDK to ensure maximum compatibility, performance, and security on newer devices.
* Resolved a bug where the app theme status would occasionally fail to update in specific scenarios.
* Integrated the latest community translations from POEdito
APK Explorer & Editor (AEE) includes a set of open-source tools mainly designed to explore the contents of an installed application on an Android device. Additionally, AEE offers a feature-rich APK/Split APK's/App bundle installer which allows users to pick and install files from device storage. Please Note: This is the full version of AEE. The Google Play version lacks editing capabilities as well as features such as APK/App Bundle signing.

Features

* Explore an installed application or APK file picked from the device storage and navigate through its contents.
* Export and easily manage (install, share etc.) APK's/Split APK's into device storage.
* Includes a feature-rich APK/Split APK/App bundle installer (easily pick and install files from device storage)
* Easily extract app icons by single-clicking on them.
* Provides basic information about important resource files.
* View graphics, texts, binary XML, and many more.
* Save/Export individual resource files to device storage.
* Edit text/binary XML files using an in-built text editor (still, a bit buggy when working with too huge APK's).

* Assemble modified smali files into new classes (.dex).
* Decode and view the contents of "resources.arsc".
* Create signed APK's/App Bundles after the above-mentioned processes.
