The apk_type.sh script is a command-line tool written in Bash that allows developers to easily determine the type of an Android app based on its APK file.
- Identifies whether an app is native, Flutter, or React Native.
- No dependencies or third-party libraries required.
- Works on any Unix-based system.
- Easy to use and extensible.
- Download or clone the repository.
- Make sure the script has executable permission (
chmod +x apk_type.sh). - Run the script and provide the path to the APK file as an argument (
./apk_type.sh /path/to/apk). - The script will print the type of the app in the console.
The script will output a message that indicates the app type of the APK file. The message will be in the following format:
APK type: Native
The actual app type will depend on the contents of the APK file.
The script uses the file command to determine the MIME type of the APK file. Then, it looks for specific files within the APK to determine whether it's a native, Flutter, or React Native app.
The apk_type.sh script is easily extensible, making it a great starting point for developers who want to add additional app types or features.
The apk_type.sh script is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0. See LICENSE for more information.
This script was inspired by the need for a quick and easy way to determine an app's type during development. Thank you to the Bash community for providing resources and inspiration for this project.
