APKEditor is a Java command-line tool for editing Android APK resources without depending on aapt/aapt2. It can decode binary resources to JSON/XML, rebuild them, merge split APK formats (XAPK, APKM, APKS), refactor obfuscated resource names, and obfuscate/protect resources.
Use cases
- decompile apk resources to readable or xml
- merge split apk files like xapk apkm apks into one apk
- rebuild android binary resources from edited or xml
- rename obfuscated android resource names to readable ones
- obfuscate apk resources to protect them
- inspect apk contents and metadata from the command line
When to choose
- you need to edit or inspect Android binary resource files (arsc) without aapt/aapt2
- you want to merge split APK bundles into a single installable APK
- you need a scriptable CLI for APK resource reverse engineering
When to avoid
- you need a full APK decompiler with Java source recovery rather than resource editing
- you want a GUI-based APK editing workflow
- you need to recompile smali/dex code changes as your primary task
