💖 NAME 💖

apkInspector 🦋 is a tool to help examine APK files. It's honestly so useful and you need it in your life.

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so when you run it, you might get this little Python heads-up 🙈 (not a crisis, just Python being dramatic):

/usr/lib/python3.14/site-packages/apkInspectorCLI/main.py:67:
SyntaxWarning: "\ " is an invalid escape sequence. Such sequences will
not work in the future. Did you mean "\\ "? A raw string is also an
option.

Then this iconic little banner pops up 🎀:

#      / _` || '_ \ | |/ /  | |  | '_ \ / __|| '_ \  / _ \ / __|| __| /
       _ \ | '__|

Here's how you call it 💅:

usage: apkInspector [-h] [-apk APK] [-f FILENAME] [-ll] [-lc] [-la] [-e]
[-x]

       [-xa] [-m] [-sm SPECIFY_MANIFEST] [-a] [-v]

Ngl, the vibe is that apkInspector gives you detailed insights into the zip structure of APK files 🔍✨. It can also extract content and decode the AndroidManifest.xml file, which is lowkey the main character move 👑.

🎀 options: 🎀

• -h, --help — shows this help message and exits 💁
• -apk APK — the APK you want to inspect 📦
• -f, --filename FILENAME — the filename you want info for 📂
• -ll, --list-local — lists all files by name from the local headers 📝

• -la, --list-all — lists all files from both the central directory and the local headers, the full main character list 👑

• -xa, --extract-all — tries to extract all files detected in the central directory header 🌈
• -m, --manifest — extracts and decodes the AndroidManifest.xml 📜
