Setting Up
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:
apktool
to (un)pack APKapksigner
to sign APKzipalign
to optimize APKadb
to install APK and manage Android devices
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.
Also, on Linux you may want to optionally install libsecret
development library to use it as a password storage,
otherwise GNOME Keyring / KWallet will be used to store your KeyStore passwords.
Package aliases:
libsecret-1-dev
(Debian-based distributions)libsecret-devel
(RPM-based distributions)
Building
qmake
make
Note that build tools may vary on different platforms (e.g., make
/nmake
).
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.
Packaging
If you want to create installation/executable APK Editor Studio packages,
the corresponding scripts are located at scripts/**/packages
(where **
is a platform name).
