androguard: Decompile Java code from an app.

androguard

$ androguard decompile ${path-to-app-apk} --output ${path-to-directory}

try on your machine

This command is using Androguard, a powerful open-source tool for reverse engineering Android applications, to decompile an APK file and extract its source code.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

androguard: Refers to the Androguard tool, which is installed and available in the command-line environment.
decompile: A command option provided by Androguard to indicate that we want to decompile the APK file.
${path-to-app-apk}: This should be replaced with the actual path to the APK file you want to decompile. It specifies the location of the APK file on your system.
--output: This command option indicates that you want to specify the output or destination directory for the decompiled code.
${path-to-directory}: This should be replaced with the actual path to the directory where you want the decompiled code to be saved. It specifies the location of the output directory on your system.

When running this command, Androguard will decompile the specified APK file and save the resulting source code files into the specified output directory.
