AEE offers two different versions of APK's with slightly different capabilities for those who interested, and are

14 | 15 | ### Google Play 16 | 17 |

Google Play version is named as APK Explorer, which itself describes its purpose and limitations clearly. In order to avoid Google's policy violations, this version doesn't offer APK signing and related features. As a result, this version only offers to view and export/save the contents of an installed APK file. Moreover, please be noted that this version is provided as a paid app, mainly to support the development of this project. If you are not really into APK editing, please consider purchasing this version to support the development of this open-source project.

18 | 19 |

20 | 21 | ### F-Droid/GitHub 22 | 23 |

The F-Droid/GitHub version is named as APK Explorer & Editor, which is in fact the full version of AEE. It offers all the capabilities of this project including APK/app bundle signing, very basic editing on the resources (work in progress), as well as the installation of the exported APK's/app bundles. This version is, and always, remains free.

24 | 25 |

26 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /index.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | --- 2 | layout: default 3 | title: Home 4 | --- 5 | 6 | 9 | 10 | ## Welcome to the home page of APK Explorer & Editor (AEE) 11 |

APK Explorer & Editor (AEE), includes a set of open-source tools mainly designed to check out what's inside installed APK's, is strictly made with an aim to inspect an installed APK file. Additionally, AEE offers a feature-rich APK/Split APK's/App bundle installer which allows users to pick and install files from device storage.

12 | 13 |

Edit text/binary XML files using an in-built text editor (still, a bit buggy especially when working with big APK's). 22 | 8. View graphics, texts, binary XML, and many more. 23 | 7. Delete or replaces resources. 24 | 9. Save/Export individual or a batch of resource files into device storage or delete them. 25 | 10.

Resign APK's/bundles with AEE custom key. 28 | 13. Elegantly designed user interface with an auto-dark/light theme. 29 | 14. A lot more. 30 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /pages/apk-signing.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | --- 2 | layout: default 3 | title: Signing APK's 4 | permalink: /apk-signing/ 5 | --- 6 | 7 | 10 | 11 | ## APK Signing 12 | 13 |

AEE will recognize APK files and app bundles and sign them accordingly with its default key. In order to sign an APK using a custom Keystore, some specific methods need to be followed and are explained in the next section.

14 | 15 | ## Signing with a custom key 16 | 17 |

In order to sign APK's with a custom key, AEE requires either a PKCS #12 keystore or a PKCS #8/X509Certificate key pair.

18 | 19 | ### How to generate a PKCS #12 keystore 20 | 21 |
    22 |
  1. Convert a java keystore (JKS) to PKCS12 format

    keytool -importkeystore -srckeystore KEYSTORE_PATH -destkeystore intermediate.p12 -srcstoretype JKS -deststoretype PKCS12

    2. 23 |
24 | 25 | ### How to create a PKCS #8 private key 26 | 27 |
    28 |
  1. Convert a PKCS12 to pem format

    openssl pkcs12 -in intermediate.p12 -nodes -out intermediate.rsa.pem

    2. 29 |
  2. Convert the pem file to PKCS #8 format

    openssl pkcs8 -topk8 -outform DER -in intermediate.rsa.pem -inform PEM -out private.pk8 -nocrypt
    3. 30 |
31 | 32 | ### How to create X509Certificate 33 | 34 |
    35 |
  1. Read X509Certificate from a java keystore (JKS)

    keytool -list -rfc -keystore KEYSTORE_PATH -alias KEY_ALIAS -storepass STORE_PASSWORD

    2. 36 |
  2. From the output, copy the text starting from -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- to -----END CERTIFICATE----- (including both) and save it as a text file

    3. 37 |
38 | 39 | ### Configure AEE to work with custom key 40 | 41 |

Open AEE and Navigate to Settings -> Sign APK's with and select Custom Key. A new page will now open which offers an option to select a custom Private Key. Use it to import your PKCS #12 keystore or PKCS #8 private key. Depending on the imported file, AEE might ask for additional details. For e.g., keystore and alias passwords are requested upon importing a PKCS #12 keystore. On the other hand, importing a PKCS #8 private key to AEE will lead you to a new window requesting it's respective X509Certificate pair. By fulfilling them, AEE will do the following changes, and now onwards uses the new credentials for signing.

42 | 43 |
    44 |
  1. Save private key as

    /data/data/com.apk.editor/files/signing/APKEditor.pk8

    2. 45 |
  2. Save X509Certificate as

    /data/data/com.apk.editor/files/signing/APKEditorCert
