apk: Display information about a specific package.
$ apk info ${package}
try on your machine

This command is used in Android development and it displays detailed information about a specific APK (Android Package) file.

Here is the breakdown of the command:

  • apk: This is the command-line tool used for managing APK files on Android devices.
  • info: This is a subcommand that instructs the apk tool to display information about an APK.
  • ${package}: This is a placeholder for the package name of the APK you want to fetch information about. You need to replace "${package}" with the actual package name.

In other words, by running this command with the appropriate package name, you can retrieve information such as package name, version code, version name, target SDK version, permissions, activities, and other details about the specified APK file.
