How to Extract an APK File Using Android Debug Bridge (ADB)

If you are a more advanced Android user, you may want to try extracting an APK file using the Android Debug Bridge (ADB). ADB is a command-line tool that is included with the Android SDK. The Android SDK is a free software development kit that allows you to develop Android applications.

• In order to use ADB, you will first need to install the Android SDK on your computer.

• Once you are in the “platform-tools” directory, connect your Android device to your computer using a USB cable.
• Once your device is connected, type the following command into the command prompt and press Enter: adb devices
• You should see a list of all the devices that are connected to your computer. Find your Android device in the list and note the number that is next to it. This is your device ID.
• Next, type the following command into the command prompt and replace “DeviceID” with your actual device ID: adb -s DeviceID pull /sdcard/filename.apk C:\filename.apk

This will extract the APK file from your Android device and save it to your computer. You can then find the extracted APK file in the location that you specified.
