aab-conqueror

A zero-config CLI for extracting universal.apk files from Android App Bundles (.aab).

Under the hood, aab-conqueror wraps Google's bundletool, handling the JAR download, keystore detection, and extraction automatically.

Features

• Fast Extraction: Generates universal.apk from .aab inputs.
• Auto-Configured: Downloads and caches bundletool automatically. No Java classpath setup required.
• Keystore Detection: Parses local properties to locate signing credentials (storeFile, keyAlias) and applies them automatically.
• Manifest Parser: Dumps the merged AndroidManifest.xml and prints a summary of the extracted build (Package, SDK targets, ABIs, Densities, Permissions).
• Multiple Execution Modes: Supports interactive prompts, direct file targets, and directory scanning.

Installation

npm install -g aab-conqueror

Requires Java (JDK/JRE) in your system PATH.

Usage

1. Interactive Mode

Run without arguments. The CLI will scan the current directory for .aab files and prompt for selection.

aab-conqueror

2. Direct File

Pass an .aab file path to bypass prompts and execute immediately. Useful for CI/CD pipelines.

aab-conqueror ./app-release.aab

3. Directory Scan

Pass a directory path to target a specific folder.

aab-conqueror ~/Projects/my-app

Options

aab-conqueror --help
aab-conqueror --version
