aapt

Android Asset Packaging Tool

e.g.: $ aapt d resources dest.apk # 查看APK的resources.arsc内容。 验证方法，用一个最简单apk，

$ zip -d apk-debug.apk resources.arsc  # 删除根下的resources.arsc.
$ zip -u apk-debug.apk resources.arsc  # 把新的resources.arsc放进根下

再使用jarsigner去重签名此包。
使用AS去打开apk看，输出是否同此aapt d 命令的结果一样。

$ aapt l -v debug.apk     # 查看APK的文件列表
