Diffuse is a command-line tool that diffs APKs, AABs, AARs, and JARs, showing high-level size changes plus detailed breakdowns of DEX, ARSC, and archive entries. It is intended for analyzing small changes such as those from a single PR or commit.
Use cases
- compare two apk builds to see what changed
- measure size impact of a dependency upgrade in an android app
- diff dex method and string counts between releases
- compare aar or jar artifacts after a code change
- check compressed and uncompressed size deltas per file in an apk
- audit what a single commit changed in a release binary
When to choose
- you need a detailed, human-readable diff of android build artifacts
- you want to quantify binary size changes in CI or code review
- you need per-entry and dex-level detail, not just total size
When to avoid
- you need to diff source code rather than compiled artifacts
- you want a GUI-based binary comparison tool
- you need to diff non-JVM/Android archive formats
