[Q] Sign Apk - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all, what does it mean when the certificate of an app, the META-INF folder to find MANIFEST.MF file written "Created-By: 1.8.0_25 (Oracle Corporation)" ???
When I try to sign an app tells me "Created-By: 1.0 (Android SignApk)" why?
Can I sign an app differently? Or do I have to pay anything? If you would like some clarification from someone, thank you very much:victory::good:

[Q] Best way to merge back the ".apk" and ".odex" files to be 1 ".apk" file

[Q] Best way to merge back the ".apk" and ".odex" files to be 1 ".apk" file
Hey everyone,
I am seeking some help for some way to get the 2 files of .apk and .odex to get back to their original state of only one install-able package .apk file..
I tried the "de-odexing" method of the Android Kitchen, but it didnt seem to be working fine. Error message of "There is a problem prasing the package."
Any other ideas how I can extract a single application from Stock or Customized ROM?
I need this help for building a rom that supports multi languages that comes with Market installed within it and having root access.
Any help would be much appreciated!

It's the only way. You have to deodex the file. The error message "There is a problem prasing the package" is not a deodex message to the best of my recollection.

Sorry I didnt get what you mean completely.
What I have tried: I used kitchen to deodex the files, copied the .apk file to my phone, tried to install it. this error message shows up!
by the way, its the same message that shows if you copy the .apk file without the .obex file to the phone and try to install it..
Any help would be appreciated!
hmmm
I would like to bring back universal inbox (from froyo to CM7 nightly, Droid X) and a few other items

Market installs the apps in /data/app and after installation it removes the temp installation files..
So is there no way to copy those .apk files before they are deleted ????
The apk is in /data/app just backup that one if you have to. The apk in that directory can be used over and over again to install on any phone you want.
I searched through astro but nothing is there in that directory ??????????????
The folder needs to be accessed with root permissions.
Via ADB shell or i believe there is an application called root explorer which does it with UI.
Astro, tools, backup - works for me
Thanks very much.....
One problem with this is, you only get common file names like
downloadfile-1.apk and so on. you wont get the app name on the file name. so everytime you copy it you have to run it and see what app that is.
That is one down matter. other than that its ok!

[Q] Certificate error when uploading to store

Hi all,
Im new here so please correct this thread if I posted it in the wrong forum.
My problem is as following:
I made an apk with appyet.com and downloaded it. There are annoying ads in it so i removed them with Lucky Patcher (Apk multi-tool was not working! ) So i saved it without ads as another apk and transfered it to my pc. When i tried uploading it is said that is was not zipaligned. I zipaligned the apk with the zipalign tool in tool folder but when i tried to upload it says:
You have uploaded an apk that is signed with an restricted certificate. You have to upload an apk signed with your own certificate.
Does anyone knows how to fix this error?
Sorry for any mistakes in my English

Sign In with google on modified APK file

Hi every1,
Important threads:
- https://www.thecobraden.com/posts/unblocking_firebase_ids/
Explanation:
I've been messing, for some time now, with android tampering/reverse engineering. But, there is a problem that I can't seem to overcome, neither find any solution for it on any foruns, that is "Signing In with Google" on the app after modifying it (decompiling/recompiling).
The process I follow is as simple as:
Pulling the APK file from my android using adb;
Opening the APK file using jadx-gui to see the contents and search for what I want to change;
Decompiling the APK using APKEasyTool and searching for the .smali file I previously wanted to change;
Changing the file and recompiling the APK with APKEasyTool;
(optional) In case the APK file is splitted, installing it on my device using SAI.
Results:
After this process the app works fine, but as mentioned, I can't no longer sign in on the app with Google. As far as I know, when you click the sign-in button, an HTTP request is made to Google Servers, asking for a token, than can later be used to sign-in on the app (this is made by integrating Firebase in the android project). And, it's in this process that it fails, because on this request it is also sent the SHA-1 fingerprint as a Request Header, which was changed when signing the APK file.
Using a tool like MITMProxy I was able to repeat this request with the APK original SHA-1 (retrieved with keytool -printcert -jarfile <original.apk>), but this requires moving traffic through, for instance, my computer - as a proxy server. (And for some reason it didn't always worked).
Question:
Does anyone have any thoughts on this, or have successfully been able to decompile/recompile an apk and still be able to use Google Sign In option? How can I modify an apk file and still be able to sign in on it with my Google account?
i mean if your device is rooter, you can login in origin apk and use lucky patcher backup data ,install modified apk then do a restore data in to app
Play Services will not allow it unless the apk is signed by Google. The solution is to set the public key for the modified apk and patch Android Framework's signature check to make the system think it's valid.
The yellow smiley face app mentioned above does this, as well as microg.
