A Node.js CLI application that automatically patches Android APK files to allow HTTPS traffic inspection through a man-in-the-middle proxy. It decodes APKs with Apktool, modifies the Network Security Configuration and disables certificate pinning, then re-encodes and signs the patched APK without requiring a rooted device.
Use cases
- intercept an android app's https traffic with a proxy
- bypass certificate pinning in an apk
- patch an apk to trust user-added certificates
- analyze how a mobile app communicates with its api
- prepare an app bundle for mitm inspection without rooting
When to choose
- you want a one-command automated apk patching workflow
- you cannot or do not want to root the android device
- the app's pinning is implemented in Java/Kotlin code rather than native binaries
When to avoid
- the app uses native-code pinning like Flutter, which apk-mitm cannot reliably bypass
- Apktool fails to disassemble large or obfuscated apps
- you prefer runtime hooking with Frida on a rooted device
