import { Apk } from "node-apk";
const apk = new Apk("app.apk");
// Get app information
const manifest = await apk.getManifestInfo();
console.log(`Package: ${manifest.package}`);
console.log(`Version: ${manifest.versionName}`);
// Get localized app name
const label = await apk.getLabel();
console.log(`App Name: ${label}`);
// Extract launcher icon
const icon = await apk.getLauncherIcon();
// Get signing certificates
const certs = await apk.getCertificateInfo();
console.log(`Signed by: ${certs[0].subject.get("CN")}`);Why Node-APK?
