* refactor: clean up external pull parser and introduce brut.j.xml We have no need for an XML pull parser in the project, it was only used for testing, which is now done with XPath. The external xpp3 library from org.ogce is obsolete and has the issue of including javax.xml.namespace.QName which conflicts with the JRE implementation that exists for a very long time now. This makes direct usages of QName produce very obscure NPEs that took me hours to figure out. This patch will allow further optimization that is WIP. The external library was replaced by the basic xmlpull API. The MXSerializer has been cleaned and the features used by apktool have been integrated into the custom implementation, now part of a separate module called brut.j.xml. Writing has been optimized by buffering write operations, inspired by KXmlSerializer used by Android itself. A class XmlPullUtils also written that allows copying from a XmlPullParser into a XmlSerializer with or without an EventHandler. We use it for AndroidManifestPullStreamDecoder (with EventHandler, to allow omitting the uses-sdk tag), and for ResXmlPullStreamDecoder (direct copy, without EventHandler). saveDocument in ResXmlPatcher was tweaked to output proper output - a new line after declaration and a new line after root element's end tag. TL;DR mostly behind the scene refactor, no end user changes.
Apktool
This is the repository for Apktool. The website is on the Apktool docs branch.
Apktool is a tool for reverse engineering third-party, closed, binary, Android apps. It can decode resources to nearly original form and rebuild them after making some modifications; it makes it possible to debug smali code step-by-step. It also makes working with apps easier thanks to project-like file structure and automation of some repetitive tasks such as building apk, etc.
Apktool is NOT intended for piracy and other non-legal uses. It could be used for localizing and adding features, adding support for custom platforms, and other GOOD purposes. Just try to be fair with the authors of an app, that you use and probably like.
