About
Anvil is a from-scratch APK patcher and editor built for learning how Android apps are put together. The heavy lifting runs in a native Rust engine, so it stays fast on large APKs.

• APK workbench: browse entries, DEX classes, decoded AndroidManifest, resource table, and signer certificates
• Native DEX ↔ smali disassembler and assembler (baksmali-compatible)
