Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

APK

✓ from pyaxmlparser import APK

✗ from pyaxmlparser import AXMLParser

Open an APK file and extract basic info: package name, application label, and permissions.

from pyaxmlparser import APK apk = APK('sample.apk') print(apk.package) print(apk.application) print(apk.permissions)

Debug

Known issues

gotchaAPK file path must be valid; the library does not provide detailed error messages for malformed APKs.

fix

Ensure the APK file is not corrupted and is a valid ZIP archive.

affects: all

gotchapyaxmlparser is not thread-safe; do not share AXMLParser instances across threads without locks.

fix

Use separate instances or protect with threading.Lock.

affects: all

gotchaThe library may raise 'SystemError: unknown type' on certain edge-case XML nodes. This is not a user error but a parser limitation.

fix

Wrap parsing in a try/except block or use an alternative like androguard for complex files.

affects: >=0.3.0

gotchaAPK object properties (e.g., .application) may return None if the manifest is missing expected tags.

fix

Always check for None before accessing nested attributes.

affects: all
