adb_batch_uninstaller

Python script to batch uninstall a bunch of Android applications from a device using ADB.

Typical use case is to have several applications to uninstall frequently and at the same time, e.g. an application and its test or sample application, or its different flavors.

Settings

Currently the applications to uninstall are set within in a constant at the head of the script, UNINSTALL_APP_PREFIXES. As the name suggests this is a prefix so any package which name starts with any these strings will be uninstalled.

Usage

The only option it currently accepts is

• -s <DEVICE> which is directly passed to adb to specify the device to uninstall from if several are available. See adb documentation for details.

Installation

python3 and adb are required and have to be on the $PATH of the executing shell. Then just make the script executable and run it:

$ chmod u+x ./adb_batch_uninstaller.py
$ ./adb_batch_uninstaller.py
