It can parse and extract information from APK files, DEX/ODEX bytecode, Android binary XML, and resource files. The package includes a basic decompiler for DEX bytecode, disassembly capabilities, and integration with Frida for dynamic analysis. It also supports saving analysis sessions to SQLite databases.\n\nThe tool is widely used in mobile security research, malware analysis, and app auditing. It serves as a foundation for higher-level security frameworks and is actively maintained, though versions 4.0.0 and later introduced breaking changes from the 3.3.5 release. The package has 14 runtime dependencies including cryptography, lxml, networkx, and IPython, providing a rich ecosystem for programmatic Android app inspection.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need to analyze Android applications programmatically. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, permissive licensing, and is battle-tested in production security tools. Be aware that version 4.1.4 represents a substantial rewrite from earlier releases, so existing code may need updates. Documentation is incomplete but improving."},"id":"androguard","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/androguard","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/androguard.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/androguard/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-06-01","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"androguard","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Androguard is a full python tool to play with Android files."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":2158671,"position":3243,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"4.1.4"}
