APK Explorer & Editor (AEE) is an open-source Android application for exploring the contents of installed APK files and APKs picked from storage. It supports exporting resources, editing text/binary XML and smali, installing split APKs and app bundles, and creating signed APKs.

Use cases

  • explore contents of an installed apk on android
  • extract app icons and resources from an apk
  • decompile dex to smali and recompile after edits
  • edit binary xml files inside an apk
  • install split apks and app bundles from device storage
  • sign or resign an apk with a custom key
  • export an installed app's apk to storage

When to choose

  • you need an on-device Android tool to inspect or modify installed APKs without a PC
  • you want to install split APKs or app bundles from local storage
  • you need to quickly extract resources or edit XML/smali in an APK on your phone

When to avoid

  • you need a full desktop reverse-engineering suite like apktool or jadx with deep analysis
  • you only want to decompile and read code without editing or signing
  • you target platforms other than Android
