UnApkm
Decrypt Apk Mirror's APKM files and save them as APKS

F-Droid: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/io.github.muntashirakon.unapkm

Apk Mirror's APKM is an encrypted bundled app format which can only be installed using their own installer. UnApkm is a small utility software that converts an APKM to APKS which can be installed via an split apk installer that supports APKS format.

Instructions: The app doesn't have any GUI. Goto your favourite file manager, select an apkm file and open it with UnApkm. You will be asked to provide a save location. When the conversion is complete, you'll see a toast message at the bottom saying success. You can find the apks file in your provided location.

NB: If you’re already an user of App Manager, this feature will be available in AM in the next release.

WHY INTERNET PERMISSION IS NEEDED?
...and other mistake usually made by privacy enthusiasts.

Let’s start from the permission denoscription on F-Droid:
- android.permission.INTERNET
Allows the app to create network sockets and use custom network protocols. The browser and other applications provide means to send data to the internet, so this permission is not required to send data to the internet.

The highlighted phrases are important:

# First phrase: Allows the app to create network sockets and use custom network protocols.
AM uses this permission for two reasons:
1. To provide ADB over TCP support for the non-root users. ADB over TCP is a custom network protocol that usually runs on port 5555. Therefore, to connect to this port via localhost, AM needs this permission.
2. To execute privileged code both on root and ADB mode. AM, being a user app, cannot execute privileged code nor can it access any hidden API. To get away with this limitation, AM runs a server in the privileged environment using app_process at port 60001 and on the user side, AM connects to this server and execute privileged code remotely from the app.

In other words, if you disable Internet permissions, you cannot access these features. AM never connects to the Internet, not even for updating the list of trackers. List of trackers are updated before each release by running a noscript available in the repo. Everything about AM is public (except, of course, my private signing keys but debug keys are also public) and people can build identical releases by following the build instructions provided in the repo.

# Second phrase: so this permission is not required to send data to the internet.
This is probably one of most common mistakes that privacy enthusiasts make. Internet permission is required in order to make socket connection. It can be used to connect to the Internet but that DOES NOT mean that this permission is required in order to connect to the Internet. There are other means by which an app can connect to the Internet without this permission.

Due to some complications, grant/revoking permissions and exporting rules is not working on profiles. Visit https://github.com/MuntashirAkon/AppManager/issues/72 until an official documentation is created.

The components tabs in the app details page is empty for users other than the current user. This will be fixed in a future release.
