SplitPacker

Bash script to combine split APKs (android app bundles) into a single decompiled APK on mac.

Usage

path/to/SplitPacker.sh <dir>

• The directory should contain all the split APKs
• The base APK file should be named exactly 'base.apk'
• It will decompile the base APK with apktool
• Then it will process all the split APKs and add what's missing to the base APK.
• Lastly, the decompiled base APK directory is then moved to where you call this script from.

Info

• Handles resources, assets and lib-config split APKs.
• apktool is needed to decompile the base APK and resource-only split APKs as well as asset-based split APKs.
• If you use SplitPacker_AAPT, then you must have a working aapt executable in the script's directory. It is much faster (around 3x) than the normal script when handling asset-only split APKs. (resources are not decompiled and aapt is used instead to get the asset's name)
• lib-config split APKs are handled using unzip, no other adjustments have to be made for those.
• The script is customized to my needs, which is combining the split APKs into a single decompiled folder, so I can mod the application and recompile it later.
• You can edit the script at the end and add an automatic call to apktool b and apksigner if you wish to do so.
