Decompile Android APKs with Claude Code: Extract APIs, URLs & Call Chains
Use Claude Code to decompile APK/XAPK/JAR/AAR, extract Retrofit/OkHttp endpoints, trace call chains, and generate API docs—even with ProGuard/R8.
Found a new toy in Claude Code
With a single command you can decompile any Android APK down to the very last layer:
/decompile app.apk
What it can do:
→ Decompiles APK / XAPK / JAR / AAR → automatically extracts all Retrofit interfaces, OkHttp calls, hidden URLs→ Traces the full call chain: Activity → ViewModel → Repository → HTTP
→ One-click analysis: Manifest, architectural patterns → handles even code obfuscated via ProGuard/R8
Roughly speaking, AI can generate full API documentation for any app in 5 minutes.
For security research / competitor analysis / learning reverse engineering — just the thing 🔮
