What is an APK file?
In short
An APK is an Android app: a ZIP with the app’s code, resources and its binary AndroidManifest.xml.
The app’s ID, version, name, minimum and target Android, permissions and signature files, read from its manifest, then every file inside. The manifest opens as readable XML.
How to open an APK file
- Add your APK. Drop the file in the box, choose it or paste it.
- Look at it. The app’s ID, version, name, minimum and target Android, permissions and signature files, read from its manifest, then every file inside. The manifest opens as readable XML.
- Take it further. Download any file from inside an archive, or open another file.
