Command-line tool for downloading APK files from various sources

apkeep

historique

Historique du projet et usages

apkeep is an EFF-maintained Rust command-line tool for downloading Android APKs from several sources, including APKPure, F-Droid, Google Play, and Huawei AppGallery. In package-manager terms it sits in the small but useful niche between Android app-store clients, archival tooling, and reproducible APK collection workflows.

Historique du projet

The public GitHub repository was created under EFForg in April 2021. The project describes itself as a command-line tool for downloading APK files from various sources and publishes prebuilt binaries, crates.io installation instructions, Docker images, and Termux guidance for Android users.

The changelog shows steady expansion after the initial public releases: versioned APK downloads for APKPure and F-Droid, F-Droid index caching, mirror and repository options, Huawei AppGallery support, Google Play split APKs and additional files, and a default config file for Google credentials. Later releases updated the Google Play API path, added F-Droid index support, exposed more device options, and reached 1.0.0 in April 2026.

Historique d'adoption

Official installation paths include GitHub release binaries, crates.io via Cargo, Docker images from GitHub Container Registry, and Termux on Android. The supplied package metadata also records packaging in Homebrew, Nix, and Scoop, which is typical for a CLI used by cross-platform Android tooling people.

The repository's GitHub metadata showed roughly 1.9k stars and 148 forks at the time of research, enough to indicate adoption beyond a private EFF utility without needing non-official popularity sources.

Modes d'utilisation

The normal CLI flow is to pass an app id, optional version, download source, and output path. APKPure is the default source and does not require credentials; Google Play requires an email plus AAS token or auth token; F-Droid and Huawei AppGallery are documented as alternate download sources.

For Google Play, apkeep documents a user config file named apkeep.ini under the user config directory, usually ~/.config/apkeep/apkeep.ini on Linux. That file can hold Google email and token values so they do not have to be supplied on every command line.

Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent

apkeep matters to package nerds because it turns mutable Android app-store distribution into scriptable artifacts: package ids in, APK or XAPK outputs out. It is useful for APK archival, comparison, reproducible testing inputs, F-Droid mirror workflows, and cases where GUI app-store clients are a poor fit.

The interesting implementation angle is that one CLI abstracts several Android distribution ecosystems while still exposing source-specific options such as device profiles, locales, split APKs, F-Droid entry points, and APKPure version listing.
