How to explain an Android APK's code and resources with an agent with Eleven

Open an APK with jadx Java output and let an agent trace its manifest, resources and native libraries.

Authorization notice. Eleven is dual-use. Only use it on software, sites and systems you own or have explicit permission to test.

Reverse engineering. Decompiling an app you did not write may breach its license or terms, so limit this to apps you are allowed to inspect.

Who it is forA mobile developer or security reviewer who needs to understand what an Android app does without the original source.

The problemDecompiled Android code is large, and the manifest, resources and native libraries are spread across different views.

The outcomeA summary of the app's components, permissions, notable classes and native libraries, with the agent pointing to the relevant Java and resource entries.

What you need first

  • A supported OS: macOS 14 or later on Apple Silicon, Windows x64, or Linux x64
  • An ACP-compatible agent (Eleven installs ACP adapters when they are needed)
  • Rizin for fast opening, or Ghidra 12.x with Java 21 for the clearest pseudocode
  • jadx if you plan to open Android APK files
  • A binary, APK, GPU kernel, shader or model file you have the right to analyze

Steps

  1. Install jadx and note its install path, since Eleven needs it for Android apps.
  2. Set ELEVEN_JADX to the jadx executable if Eleven does not find it on its own. (inferred, check the README)
  3. Open the .apk file in Eleven; for split bundles, open the .xapk or .apks file so every split loads.
  4. Ask your agent to read the manifest and the Resources list, then to follow references from the main activity.
  5. Check the agent's claims against the Java view and the string resources before you rely on them.

Prompt for your agent

In the Zfinix/eleven repo, open the APK at <path-to-apk> and ask the agent to summarize its manifest, permissions, main components and native libraries. Expected output is a list with a Java class or resource path for each item; verify two of them in the Java view.

Caveat. Eleven needs jadx for APK files, and apktool is optional and only adds smali output.
