Using Adb Pull and Apktool to investigate existing Android application, library version, permission in Manifest and grab Layout and resources
There is fantastic Java decompiler https://apktool.org/, this tool also available as extension to VS Code:
This tool can combine with adb pull (more about adb) and than decompile APK-file. This is not unique operation with byte code and virtual framework, this is the same operation, that we are usually doing with ILDASM or JustDecompile on .NET platform.
But Android platform there are a couple interesting features, that never obfuscation in production library.
- Manifest contains a lot of information, permissions, activities list and other
- We can see all used libraries with version of all libraries.
- We can see clearly all Layouts
- We can see all resources in clear form.
