This script extracts metadata and app icons from Android APK files. It utilizes the Android Asset Packaging Tool (aapt) to gather metadata and the Python Imaging Library (PIL) to process the app icons.

• Extracts metadata such as package name, version code, version name, SDK versions, and app name
• Extracts and saves the app icon as a PNG file
• Converts metadata keys to snake_case
• Saves metadata to a JSON file (optional)

• Python 3.6+
• Android Asset Packaging Tool (aapt)
• Pillow (Python Imaging Library)

To install the Pillow library, run:

pip install Pillow

1. Place the APK file you want to extract metadata from in a directory accessible by the script.
2. Run the script with the following command:

python apk_metadata_extractor.py /path/to/your/apk_file.apk

This will print the metadata to the console and save the app icon as app_icon.png in the same directory as the APK file.

To save the metadata as a JSON file, include the -j flag:

python apk_metadata_extractor.py /path/to/your/apk_file.apk -j

This will save the metadata to a JSON file with the same name as the APK file in the same directory.
