Cross-platform Qt5 based IDE for reverse-engineering android applications

APK Studio is a cross-platform IDE for reverse-engineering (decompiling/editing) & recompiling of android application binaries within a single user-interface. It features a friendly IDE like layout, with a code editor which support syntax highlighting for Android SMALI (*.smali) code files.

Instructions:

• Make sure JAVA_HOME point to a valid JDK (JRE may not work)
• Point the Vendor Path in Edit > Settings to a valid folder having contents of this archive
• A recommended location to extract above archive might be ~/.apkstudio/vendor
• You can now start de/re-compiling

Note: If you encounter any problems, make sure to check Console Output at bottom of IDE to get the output of command which was actually executed by program. Report any issues related to APK Studio here on Github. Please note, an issue with apktool is not an issue with APK Studio. Please verify the context of issue before opening a ticket.
