why I am not able to see classes.dex after extraction of .apk?


I have opened .apk archive file which shows me the following file:

  1. Androidmanifest.xml
  2. resource.ars
  3. META-INF folder
  4. RES folder

I am not able to get classes.dex. It shows me in zip folder but when I extract it classes.dex disappear after extraction.


Solution

  • No idea how that happened to you, but you can decompile the apk directly into Java source code using a tool called JADX. Just search it for your platform in Google.
