CodeLocator is a developer tool designed to help analyze, navigate, and understand large Android codebases — especially useful when working with obfuscated code, many dependencies, or when you don’t have full context (e.g. in large apps or reverse-engineering contexts). It provides capabilities to quickly locate references, method calls, resource usages, and dependency paths across the project, which can dramatically speed up understanding code flow, tracing bugs, or auditing code. By giving a UI or structured navigation interface (depending on platform integration) over the project’s code and metadata, CodeLocator helps developers find where particular functions, classes or resources are used, and see their call graphs or dependency chains. ...

AabResGuard is a resource-obfuscation and resource-packing tool developed by ByteDance for Android applications. Its primary purpose is to protect and shrink the resource assets inside Android App Bundles (AAB), making reverse engineering and tampering harder while reducing final package size. It can be integrated as a command-line tool or a Gradle plugin, so developers can adopt it with minimal disruption to their existing Android build pipelines. Historically, it was used internally by ByteDance (e.g. for apps like TikTok and its related overseas products), which suggests it was robust and production-ready. ...
