Mass APK-signer

[raidzero]

I made this because I wanted to sign all my apk's at once after being zipaligned. I share it because that's what I do..

Directions: put your unsigned APK's in unsigned. run sign.bat, signed versions of apks will be in signed directory.

@ECHO OFF
Title RZ Mass-APK signer


cd unsigned 

ECHO .apk's are now being signed. The signed versions will be in signed/
echo.

for /F "tokens=*" %%A in ('dir /b *.apk') do echo Now signing %%A.. && java -jar ..\signapk.jar ..\testkey.x509.pem ..\testkey.pk8 %%A ..\signed\%%A

echo Done!

PAUSE
EXIT

Hope it helps someone.

Not sure where it should be posted so mods please move it where it belongs


Warning from CVPCS:

[13:04] <@cvpcs|work> beware
[13:04] <@cvpcs|work> signing EVERYTHING with testkey is a BAD idea
[13:04] <@cvpcs|work> some apks need to be signed with media/platform/shared keys
[13:04] <@cvpcs|work> or they won't work

any idea on how this would be done in linux/ubuntu? any help would be greatly appreciated!

[raidzero]

Not sure, I do not have a linux machine handy but it'd look something liek this:

#!/bin/sh


cd unsigned 

ECHO apk's are now being signed. The signed versions will be in signed/
echo

 ls *.apk | awk '{print$7}' > apklist

while read apk; do echo Now signing $apk.. && java -jar ../signapk.jar ../testkey.x509.pem ../testkey.pk8 $apk ../signed\$apk < apklist

echo Done!

the awk statement will need to be adjusted to your environment

the awk statement will need to be adjusted to your environment

I am pretty new to developing and Im afraid I dont know how to adjust awk...anywhere you can point me?

From what i do know i created a script

#!/bin/bash
cd /unsigned
find . -name "*.apk" -exec java -jar /home/andrew/sign/signapk.jar /home/andrew/sign/certificate.pem /home/andrew/sign/key.pk8 {} \;
echo 'APKs signed';
echo $?

there are four apks in the folder and I recieve this


Usage: signapk [-w] publickey.x509[.pem] privatekey.pk8 input.jar output.jar
Usage: signapk [-w] publickey.x509[.pem] privatekey.pk8 input.jar output.jar
Usage: signapk [-w] publickey.x509[.pem] privatekey.pk8 input.jar output.jar
Usage: signapk [-w] publickey.x509[.pem] privatekey.pk8 input.jar output.jar
APKs signed
0

Im thinking there is a problem with the input and output...i need to direct the -exec command to (input.apk) and (output.apk) of selected files... if that makes sense.

I tried your script but i dont know how to set awk up

another script was

find . -name "*.apk" | xargs java -jar /home/andrew/sign/signapk.jar /home/andrew/sign/testkey.x509.pem /home/andrew/sign/testkey.pk8

that didnt work neither. Thank you for the help!

go to the directory with the apks and do

ls *.apk | awk '{print$7}'

see which column of data is printed,. it will be the seventh one. if that is one with the file names then it should be okay, if not, change 7 to the correct column of data.

[Drew408]

I cd to my unsigned apk folder and perform

ls *.apk | awk '{print$7}'
then it returns this



andrew@development-laptop:~/sign/unsigned$ ls *.apk | awk '{print$7}'

andrew@development-laptop:~/sign/unsigned$

The folder only contained one apk...the more apks i have in the folder the bigger the gap between...for example...

andrew@development-laptop:~/sign/unsigned$ ls *.apk | awk '{print$7}'






andrew@development-laptop:~/sign/unsigned$

That is with six apks. something is happening but it is not showing up.

when i manually enter your original code step by step, the terminal just hangs at a blinking cursor.

[raidzero]

post your output if just

ls *.apk

awk is used in this case to only print the seventh column of data, there may not be seven columns, so it returns nothing.

[Drew408]

andrew@development-laptop:~/sign/unsigned$ ls *.apk
AccountAndSyncSettings.apk
that is with one apk


andrew@development-laptop:~/sign/unsigned$ ls *.apk
AccountAndSyncSettings.apk CalendarGoogle.apk ChromeToPhone.apk
ApplicationsProvider.apk CalendarProvider.apk Contacts.apk
BBToolkit.apk CameraGoogle.apk ContactsProvider.apk
Bluetooth.apk CarHomeGoogle.apk DefaultContainerService.apk
Browser.apk CarHomeLauncher.apk
Calculator.apk CertInstaller.apk

that is with 16 apks

andrew@development-laptop:~/sign/unsigned$ ls *.apk | awk '{print$7}'
















andrew@development-laptop:~/sign/unsigned$

that is awk with 16 apks....more than 7.
Thank you for the quick replies!

[raidzero]

ooh my mistake it should be

ls -l *.apk | awk '{print$N}'

where N is the Nth column of data printed by ls

[Drew408]

andrew@development-laptop:~/sign/unsigned$ ls *.apk | awk '{print$0}'
AccountAndSyncSettings.apk
ApplicationsProvider.apk
BBToolkit.apk
Bluetooth.apk
Browser.apk
Calculator.apk
CalendarGoogle.apk
CalendarProvider.apk
CameraGoogle.apk
CarHomeGoogle.apk
CarHomeLauncher.apk
CertInstaller.apk
ChromeToPhone.apk
Contacts.apk
ContactsProvider.apk
DefaultContainerService.apk
andrew@development-laptop:~/sign/unsigned$

this is what happens when i use 0


andrew@development-laptop:~/sign/unsigned$ ls *.apk | awk '{print$N}'
AccountAndSyncSettings.apk
ApplicationsProvider.apk
BBToolkit.apk
Bluetooth.apk
Browser.apk
Calculator.apk
CalendarGoogle.apk
CalendarProvider.apk
CameraGoogle.apk
CarHomeGoogle.apk
CarHomeLauncher.apk
CertInstaller.apk
ChromeToPhone.apk
Contacts.apk
ContactsProvider.apk
DefaultContainerService.apk
andrew@development-laptop:~/sign/unsigned$

this is with N...signing now...let you know
does the 0 or N make a difference if it is giving me the same results?


i will try fin
