apk-acquire

What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates the tedious manual work of sourcing APK files for Android reverse engineering projects, removing the need to manually pull apps from connected devices, search local storage for existing packages, or navigate third-party download sites to obtain the target application.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Multi-Route Automatic Acquisition: Prioritizes pulling APKs from connected adb devices, then uses locally stored APK/XAPK files, then downloads from APKPure (including split XAPK packages with architecture-specific APKs) with no manual intervention required.
• Verification & Optional Installation: Validates the acquired APK's package name matches the requested target, and can automatically install single or split APKs back to a connected device for dynamic analysis.
• Use Case: When starting a reverse engineering project for an Android app identified only by its package name, this Skill handles the entire intake step so you can move straight to fingerprinting and analysis without manual APK sourcing.

Quick Start

Use the apk-acquire skill to automatically fetch the APK for the Android package com.example.app and save it to your project workspace for reverse engineering analysis.
