Welcome

I have updated all the files and modified APK manager's Scripts to fix many user reported bugsfrom Daneshm90 APK manager hich he had ritten a simple script to ease the process of

editing APKS! "ot a lot of donloads so thought its in demand

After some thought and after adding ne features and decided that since it is no longer #ust aAPK management tool that is is no a multi functional tool no so I felt to change the name toAPK $ulti%&ool!

hether you're doing basic image editing or editing the smali or ($) files* on average u have touse +,rut!all or -.'s smali/basmali1 aesome tool to extract the APK* edit it* then sign the APKand then AD, push/install it! &his process is 2uite tiresome if you are testing a method that needsfine teaing!

&his script should mae the process a )3& smoother!&here is an option of compiling/signing/installing all in one step
