Downloading Android APKs from your phone
Some key commands:
adb shell pm list packages
adb shell pm path <package from above>
adb pull <path from above> <local path to download to>
Here’s an example applied to Neko Atsume, the premier internet cat game:
C:\Users\chris>adb shell pm list packages | grep neko
package:jp.co.hit_point.nekoatsume
C:\Users\chris>adb shell pm path jp.co.hit_point.nekoatsume
package:/data/app/jp.co.hit_point.nekoatsume-n4XAV9PPJIzObbfURWHm2A==/base.apk
C:\Users\chris>adb pull /data/app/jp.co.hit_point.nekoatsume-n4XAV9PPJIzObbfURWHm2A==/base.apk nekoatsume.apk
/data/app/jp.co.hit_point.nekoatsume-n4XAV9PPJIzObbfURWHm2...e.apk: 1 file pulled. 14.1 MB/s (19756023 bytes in 1.341s)
