Implement app bundle support

[NickAcPT]

I'm trying to patch an application that is distributed on the App Bundle format (*.apks).

In order to patch the application, manual work (which is labor intensive and error-prone) needs to be done to merge the apks.

My suggestion is to allow to modify the base apk, package it back to the apks format and let it be installed on the device.

Also, it would be nice to be able to do this inside Android Studio with the gradle plugin.

thanks. i really hate everything google does.

all the pieces of an app bundle have to be signed with the same signature for the bundle to be installable, did you think of that? so your strategy would be to resign all pieces? why not just merge them instead, then use dxp? i haven't look, but i'm sure someone must have implemented that.

Don't we all. Haha.

Yeah, I've read that..

Haven't yet found an automated tool that's able to do that.

but i'm sure someone must have implemented that

As far as I know, nobody did that yet.
