Description

From the listing uploaded by “bigballsports”.

App Detective allows you to take a really close look inside the apps that you have installed on your device. Starting from the list of installed apps, which you can filter and sort in many ways, you can dive in to look at the innermost details of specific apps. Details shown include - version information - full Android manifest file viewer (with syntax coloring) - signatures - permissions - activities, receivers, services etc - resources - libraries - installation dates - file sizes - code packages and much more. More Pro features, which will tell you even more about your installed apps, are under development. This app requires no specific permissions to run. You will find App Detective especially useful and interesting if you are an app developer, or currently use any of AppXplore, App Inspector, AppBrain Ad Detector, Apk Manager Plus, ManifestViewer or any other app that offers app management or app inspection features.

App Detective APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the App Detective APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store flagged this file with a security warning. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 2fd12ab59d3bcdcdd541c5f8fe66fa61.
