About APK Explorer & Editor
APK Explorer & Editor (AEE) includes a set of open-source tools mainly designed to explore the contents of an installed application on an Android device. Additionally, AEE offers a feature-rich APK/Split APK's/App bundle installer which allows users to pick and install files from device storage. Please Note : This is the full version of AEE. The Google Play version lacks editing capabilities as well as features such as APK/App Bundle signing.
