Preface
Today I discovered that an application on my phone could no longer be found in the app store. I wanted to recommend it to my friends, but I found that I didn’t know where to find the original apk installation file. Please record it.
How to extract apk
Two methods
MT manager export
You can useMT管理器(Android Platform reverse engineering tool), it has 安装包提取 The function allows you to view and export application package names conveniently and quickly. MT Manager official download address, it looks like this
Using adb with a computer
Take it in three steps:
1. View package name
adb shell pm list package # 若只需要查看第三方包可以添加 -3 参数
If you don’t know the application package name, it generally cannot correspond to the application and package names, which is not clear enough. You can also use MT管理器 to view the package name.
2. Check the specific location of the apk corresponding to the package name on the Android device
adb shell pm path 【包名】
3. adb pull to get files from Android device
adb pull 【Android地址】 【电脑地址】

After starting, the server will bind to the localTCP port5037 and listen for commands issued by theadb client - all The server then establishes connections with all running devices. . server through port adb Clients all communicate with the 5037adb
