My device does not support split app. But Google Play can load them. Maybe I can work to Sai with the ADB? No way there is a without root? Sorry for my English.

You mean your device runs Android version lower than 5.0? If so, Google Play will just download merged APKs. Split APKs just weren't a thing before 5.0, so root won't help you there.

My device is Android 5.0.1. But I can't back up the app because I can't install Split apks. If Root works, I get root privilege on the device. But I'il wait if SAI works n the future.

So, you get an error when installing split APKs? Can you provide the error text and your device model and ROM?

Your ROM is incompatible with rootless installer. Try enabling rooted installer in SAI settings if you have root

Well, yeah, I can't see any other solution apart from using root. I've added support for Shizuku in latest commits, but it only works on Android 6.0+

Actually you can just use ADB directly to install that app

I understand. I'll try the Adb method. Thanks. :)

One last question. Is it possible to reassemble these apk's using apktool?

You mean merge? It must be possible, but it's gonna be really hard to merge resources manually, maybe there's an existing tool for that, but idk

Yeah. Even if it's hard, I'd want to try. I know the app I can do on the phone, but I need some more information. I'm sorry I wasted your time. Thanks for the answers.
