GUI for apktool, signapk, zipalign and baksmali utilities.
It is a tool for reverse engineering 3rd party, closed, binary Android apps. It can decode resources to nearly original form and rebuild them after making some modifications; it makes possible to debug smali code step by step. Also it makes working with app easier because of project-like files structure and automation of some repetitive tasks like building apk, etc.

If you like to help translate with your native language, use Visual Studio 2022
-
Create new resx file under Languages folder within Visual Studio.
-
Open any forms. Under properties, scroll down until you see Language, and select any language you would like to translate. It will create new resx file inside cs file
If you can't use Visual Studio, you can use translator tools like resxtranslator or RESX Translator automat, but make sure the .resx file is added to APKToolGUI.csproj, otherwise Visual Studio would not compile it

A: Maybe, but it's not easy since Microsoft is dumb for not supporting it for .NET Core, unlike Java FX which supported all platforms. If you know, feel free to open an issue
A: Download Apktool.jar and replace it on Resources folder
A: Download Baksmali.jar/Smali.jar and replace it on Resources folder
A: Simply delete the config.xml file on the same directory of the executeable
A: It just a false positive, anti-virus always flag tools/softwares like this as virus. Don't always believe what your anti-virus are telling you. Try to compile the source by yourself and you will see
A: No, that's not the scope of this tool, and I don't have time for that. However, you can try making it by yourself, or have a look on SaveToGame project which can give you ideas how to do it.
A: No, protection is beyond the scope of this tool
A: No, they are also beyond the scope of this tool. I don't condone bypassing such protections

Same as Apktool by iBotPeaches, It is NOT intended for piracy and other non-legal uses. It could be used for localizing, adding some features or support for custom platforms and other GOOD purposes. Just try to be fair with authors of an app, that you use and probably like.
