🎀 ANDRODD(1), section 1, User Commands 🎀

Okay bestie, this is the manual for androdd 💅 It's all about reverse engineering and pentesting Android apps, and it's giving main character energy 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

androdd — reverse engineering and pentesting for Android applications 🔥

🧚 SYNOPSIS 🧚

androdd [OPTIONS] [FILE_]

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

Okay so, heads up, you might see a little Python gremlin pop up when you run this 💀 It's a SyntaxWarning coming from the androguard library at this path:

/usr/lib/python3.14/site-packages/androguard/core/bytecodes/apk.py:1039:
SyntaxWarning: "\>" is an invalid escape sequence. Such sequences will
not work in the future. Did you mean "\\>"? A raw string is also an
option.

The docs snippet is kinda messy too 🙈 It says:

Thus specifiying :code:`{"name": "foobar"}` will match on
:code:`<bla name="foobar" \>`

Basically, the main job here is to decompile an APK and create Control Flow Graphs ✨ Bestie, it's literally that simple. Here's an example you can copy:

$ androguard resources.arsc

🌸 OPTIONS 🌸

• -i, --input FILE — the APK you want to parse. This one's just the legacy option 🍓
• -o, --output TEXT — the output directory 📂

⚠️ Bestie, read this part! If the output folder already exists, it gets overwritten 😭 Required, so you can't skip it.

• -f, --format TEXT — also writes control flow graphs for each method. Pick the format you want, like png, jpg, or raw (which writes a dot file), and so on 🎨
• -j, --jar — uses DEX2JAR to create a JAR file 🫶
• -l, --limit TEXT — limits things to certain methods only, using a regex. The default is '.*' 🌈
• -d, --decompiler TEXT — swap in a different decompiler. The default is DAD 👑
• --help — shows the help message and exits ✨
