From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Try to use my apkverify tool.

It may be broken or not work on some APKs, getting it running on Termux is kinda weird, but you could then use a better output of APKSigner to read signatures and verify APKs on first install.

Apksigner on its own was pretty useless for me, thats why it uses a workaround. Apks are zips, so it renames the file, decompresses and reads some file where the signer is actually mentioned with Name and all. Then it deletes it.

Iirc there was some bug with Termux and the unpack thing, because Android sucks I guess. On Linux it works fine.
