It could be used for localizing, adding some features or support for custom platforms, analyzing applications and much more. The decode option on Apktool can be invoked either from d or decode. In order to run a rebuilt application. You must resign the application. Android documentation can help with this. As you probably know, Android apps utilize code and resources that are found on the Android OS itself. These are known as framework resources and Apktool relies on these to properly decode and build apks.

    Litho

    Litho

    A declarative framework for building efficient UIs on Android

    Litho uses a declarative API to define UI components. You simply describe the layout for your UI based on a set of immutable inputs and the framework takes care of the rest. With code generation, Litho can perform optimisations for your UI under the hood, while keeping your code simple and easy to maintain. Litho can measure and layout your UI ahead of time without blocking the UI thread. By decoupling its layout system from the traditional Android View system, Litho can drop the UI thread constraint imposed by Android. Litho uses Yoga for layout and automatically reduces the number of ViewGroups that your UI contains. This, in addition to Litho's text optimizations, allows for much smaller view hierarchies and improves both memory and scroll performance.

    picocli

    picocli

    Framework for building GraalVM-enabled command line apps

    Picocli is a one-file framework for creating Java command-line applications with almost zero code. It supports a variety of command-line syntax styles including POSIX, GNU, MS-DOS and more.

Picocli-based applications can have command line TAB completion showing available options, option parameters, and subcommands, for any level of nested subcommands. Picocli-based applications can be ahead-of-time compiled to a GraalVM native image, with extremely fast startup time and lower memory requirements, which can be distributed as a single executable file. Picocli generates beautiful documentation for your application (HTML, PDF and Unix man pages). Another distinguishing feature of picocli is how it aims to let users run picocli-based applications without requiring picocli as an external dependency.
