APK Tool GUI
GUI for apktool, signapk, zipalign and baksmali utilities.
It is a tool for reverse engineering 3rd party, closed, binary Android apps. It can decode resources to nearly original form and rebuild them after making some modifications; it makes possible to debug smali code step by step. Also it makes working with app easier because of project-like files structure and automation of some repetitive tasks like building apk, etc.

FAQ
Q: Can it be ported to other OS like Linux?
A: Maybe, but it's not easy since Microsoft is dumb for not making it easy for .NET Core unlike Java's GUI which supports all supported platforms
Q: How to update Apktool?
A: Download Apktool.jar and replace it on Resources folder
Q: How to update Baksmali/Smali?
A: Download Baksmali.jar/Smali.jar and replace it on Resources folder
Q: How to reset?
A: Simply delete the config.xml file
Q: Why this tool is a virus?
A: It just a false positive, anti-virus always flag tools/softwares like this as virus. Don't always believe what your anti-virus are telling you. Try to compile the source by yourself and you will see
Q: Can you make an automatic APK injecting tool?
A: No, that's not the point of this tool, and I don't have time for that. However, you can try making it by yourself, or have a look on SaveToGame which can give you ideas how to do it.
