Building App Manager

Requirements

  • Hardware: Any computer with 8 GB RAM and 20 GB storage
  • Operating system: Linux/macOS (no support for Windows)
  • Software: Android Studio/IntelliJ IDEA, Gradle, Latex, pandoc, JDK 17+
  • Active network connection: Depending on your development environment, you may need at least 20 GB data package.

macOS

The following steps are required only if you want to build APKS:

  • Install Homebrew:

    /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

  • Install bundletool:

    brew install bundletool

Linux|GNU

  • Install the development tools.

    • For Debian/Ubuntu:

      sudo apt-get install build-essential

    • For Fedora/CentOS/RHEL:

      sudo yum groupinstall "Development Tools"

    • For Arch/Artix/Manjaro:

      sudo pacman -S base-devel

  • Install bundletool-all.jar if you want to build APKS, and make sure it is available as bundletool command. A quick way would be to create a file bundletool in /usr/local/bin directory with the following content:

    #!/usr/bin/env bash
exec java -jar "/path/to/bundletool-all.jar" "$@"

    Make sure to replace /path/to/bundletool-all.jar with the actual path for bundletool-all.jar. Also, make the file executable:

    chmod +x /usr/local/bin/bundletool

Clone and Build App Manager

  1. Clone the repo along with submodules:

    git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/MuntashirAkon/AppManager.git

    You can use the --depth 1 argument if you don't want to clone past commits.

  2. Open the project AppManager using Android Studio/IntelliJ IDEA. The IDE should start syncing automatically. It will also download all the necessary dependencies automatically provided you have a working network connection.

  3. Build debug version of App Manager from Menu > Build > Make Project, or, from the terminal:

    ./gradlew packageDebugUniversalApk

    The command will generate a universal APK instead of a bundled app.

Create Bundled App

To create a bundled app in APKS format, run the following command:

./scripts/aab_to_apks.sh type

Replace type with release or debug based on your requirements. It will ask for KeyStore credentials interactively.

The script above will also generate a universal APK.
