Ver2Name

A simple Bash script to rename APK files based on their app name and version, then move them to an output folder. This script uses the aapt binary to extract the app's metadata.

---

Features

• Extracts app name and version from APK files.
• Renames APK files in the format: <AppName>_<Version>.apk.
• Moves renamed files to an output folder.
• Self-contained: includes the aapt binary in the project (lib folder).
• Portable: No external dependencies required beyond bash.

Folder Structure

project/
├── input/         # Place your APK files here
├── output/        # Renamed APK files will be moved here
├── lib/
│   └── aapt       # aapt binary (included with the project)
└── rename_apk.sh  # Bash script

---

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/darksky4you/ver2name.git
   cd ver2name

2. Ensure the aapt binary is in the lib folder. The script already includes the binary, but you can replace it if needed.

3. Make the script executable:

   chmod +x rename_apk.sh

---

Usage

1. Place your APK files in the input folder.
2. Run the script:

   ./rename_apk.sh

3. Renamed APKs will appear in the output folder.

---

Requirements

• Bash (default on most Unix-based systems like Linux and macOS).
• aapt binary (included in the lib folder).

---

Example

Input:

• input/DemoApk.apk (App Name: DemoApk, Version: 6.9.6).

Output:

• output/DemoApk_6.9.6.apk.

---

Troubleshooting

1. No aapt binary found:

   • Ensure the aapt binary is in the lib folder.
   • Check if it is executable:

     chmod +x lib/aapt

2. No APK files found:

   • Ensure your APK files are placed in the input folder.

3. Empty app name or version:

   • This can happen if the APK metadata is incomplete or corrupted.
   • Verify the APK with:

     lib/aapt dump badging input/YourApp.apk
