Application debugging

For debugging with Android Studio, you must go into /smali/AndroidManifest.xml and change the android:debuggable :

android:debuggable="false" ➝ android:debuggable="true"

The settings necessary for debugging outside Android Studio are on this link: vk.com/vt/debug

• For additional debugging answers and logs, it is necessary to enable [developer mode]

• To view the SSL traffic, you need to disable the function [ssl pinning]

• To log the internal requests for the API, it is necessary to enable the function [Logging API] ^{(it works only when using the internal logger!)}

• To use the internal logger, you need to enable the function [log writing in the file]

Immediately after clicking on the recording, the application will begin to record all your actions along the path /Download/VK/logs/com.vtosters.lite/

At the next time the application is opened, it will automatically save the logs and send you to the VK documents where you can download the logs archive and work with them.

Development

To understand the work of a decompiled code, you need to use DEX to Java JADX decompire or third -party options as Fernflower

When solving a solution to any problems, we are waiting for you in Pull Requests

• It is recommended to install ADB in the system (how to do this)

• DEX2JAR is used to index the decompiled code in Studio

Generated libraries from .DEX files are in /app/libs

With pure re-comporting .DEX in .Jar, some file indexation may break, correct with hands what comes in (for example, some functions in dex are changed from Private to PUBLIC )

APKTool is used to assemble decompiled code and resources

Everything you need for assembly and compilation

 - Не меняйте имя пакета во избежание проблем с приложением

- Некоторые функции, связанные с музыкой не будут работать в пересобранном приложении

• The entire customer decompiled code is in /smali

• The entire source code of the modification is in /app

• All the necessary scripts /.jar files for APK compilation, its signing and not only are in /scripts

Necessary dependencies

JDK > 14 versions

Rust with Android ARM Tulchans: rustup target add aarch64-linux-android armv7-linux-androideabi

Android SDK and NDK (installed through SDKManager or Android Studio)

Linux/MacOS/Windows

For assembly, you must call one of the following Gradle Tasks:

• ./gradlew buildVTL + <Build Type> - will gather and sign APK
• ./gradlew buildAndInstallVTL + <Build Type> - will collect, sign and try to install via ADB
• ./gradlew buildAndLaunchVTL + <Build Type> - will gather, sign, try to install via ADB and run on the device
• [For devs] ./gradlew prepareDexForMerge + <Build Type> - will collect everything you need for assembly in smali/
• [For devs] ./gradlew exportDex + <Build Type> - Exporting the dexes from the assembled application for transfer to smali/
