APK Editor Studio is a powerful yet easy to use APK reverse-engineering tool written in C++/Qt.

APK Editor Studio depends on multiple third-party binary tools which are not included in this repository. In order to successfully utilize this software, the following tools should be present on your system:

You can either get them manually (e.g., using apt-get in Debian) or run the scripts/download.py Python 3 script which will automatically download the needed tools.

Note that this is only needed if you compile APK Editor Studio from the source code. Prebuilt packages already contain these tools.

Also, on Linux you may want an optional support for libsecret password storage backend. In order to enable it, you will need to install the corresponding library:

Note that the build tools may vary on different platforms (e.g., make/nmake/jom). You can also use Qt Creator IDE to compile APK Editor Studio without manually specifying the paths and running the build tools.

Optionally, run make install to install APK Editor Studio to /usr. Pass the PREFIX variable to qmake in order to define a different installation directory.

If you want to create installation/executable APK Editor Studio packages, the corresponding scripts are located at scripts/**/packages (where ** is a platform name). Refer to the underlying README.md files for more information on the specific platforms.
