CODECS.COM has launched its first online tool - the APK/XAPK Checker/Analyzer. Perfect for developers, security folks, and Android enthusiasts, it offers a powerful way to explore app packages without needing to upload anything.
What Are APK and XAPK Files?
APK (Android Package Kit) files are the standard package format used to distribute and install applications on Android devices.
They contain all the necessary components for an app to run, including compiled code, resources, assets, and the AndroidManifest.xml file.
XAPK files are extended APK packages that bundle multiple APK files (including split APKs) along with additional OBB (Opaque Binary Blob) data files.
XAPK format is commonly used for large games and applications that exceed the standard APK size limits, making distribution and installation more manageable.
Key Features of the APK Analyzer
The new tool offers comprehensive analysis capabilities with complete privacy protection:
- 100% Client-Side Processing - All file analysis happens directly in your browser; files never leave your device.
- Dual Format Support - Analyzes both standard APK and XAPK packages, including split APKs.
- Detailed App Information - Extracts package name, version details, SDK requirements, and application metadata.
- Component Analysis - Lists all activities, services, broadcast receivers, and content providers.
- Permission Audit - Displays all requested Android permissions for security review.
- Native Library Detection - Identifies supported CPU architectures (ABIs) and native .so libraries.
- Framework Recognition - Detects popular frameworks like Flutter, React Native, Unity 3D, and more.
- Manifest Viewer - Full AndroidManifest.xml content display for technical inspection.
- String Resources - Extracts localized text resources from the app.
- Exportable Reports - Save complete analysis results to text file for documentation.
The tool features an intuitive drag-and-drop interface with real-time processing and beautifully formatted results, making it accessible for both technical and non-technical users.
Complementing CODECS.COM's Android Section
This new APK analyzer perfectly complements CODECS.COM's Android section, adding practical analysis functionality to the platform's growing collection of resources and tools for the Android enthusiasts.
