How do you unpin a xapk file ?

Hi there!

Thanks for this amazing tool, it works great with APK. But it seems that it doesn't work with XAPK files.
I try to download the APK from various website and only got XAPK.

I tried to use APK extractor on my phone then transfer the APK, but the app does not since to like this.

Do you have a workaround to install an app which is an .xapk ?

Thanks for your time!

Actually, for those having the same problem, I found a way to have a APK.

What I did is that I downloaded the app from the Playstore on my emulator, then

# list the app, and find out the one you want
 android-unpinner list-packages

# then get your apk
android-unpinner get-apks your-app out/

# then install to the emulator
adb install-multiple -r out/*

Don't you have to patch the XAPKs?

Exactly - this doesn't actually patch the XAPK

FYI, what worked for me:

android-unpinner list-packages

android-unpinner get-apks your-app ~/Downloads/your-app

android-unpinner all ~/Downloads/your-app/*.apk

you can unzip the xapk and certainly find the apk inside
