Apktool v3.0.0 Released Apktool v3.0.0 has been released! A major release dropping support for aapt1 and 32 bit support while re-engineering CLI parameters and heavily rewriting the internals of Apktool for easier long-term maintenance. This time in honor with the project starting to live without my personal blog - the majority of details will be on the official release post on apktool.org instead of this blog. This blog will go into more about the meta details of maintaining a large open source project for over a decade. 💡 Official Apktool v3.0.0 release post on apktool.org As 15 years of maintaining Apktool approached I realized I don't really develop in Java anymore. I don't translate MIUI roms as a hobby and outside of a small bit of work auditing applications on Android - I don't really work in Android anymore. It wasn't fair to Apktool as my focus was pulled to OpenAI for PHP or fastlane recently. So knowing Igor had been giving pull requests to Apktool for years it was an easy ask to grant him access to the repository with a maintainer role. So Igor helped majorly in designing and stabilizing Apktool v3 as well as reviewing support issues and feedback. As I hacked it to pieces over the past decade fixing crashes here and there it was great to have someone review the code as a whole and iterate with a design in their mind. I don't yet have a fully automated Apktool release process as the signing part is still hooked my private GPG key and thus must be done locally. This means all releases are only possible by myself at this time. I've been researching how other Java applications in the open source space sign and publish to Maven in a purely automated fashion. The downside right now is any process that does work doesn't look like an amount of scripts and tooling I want to maintain alongside Apktool. So I'm happy Apktool continues to live on with modernization and enhancements with myself a bit more in the shadows than normal. Igor knows the Android space better than me and is rapidly improving Apktool more-so than I could. * * * **Sponsors** I launched GitHub Sponsors to help provide another alternative for folks showing appreciation. I want to remind folks of two companies that continue to hold a monthly donation for the project. * Emerge Tools (now Sentry) came online to sponsor the tool. * Sourcetoad (self employer) additionally joined to sponsor (as well as a few other projects). * * * **This release had 49 commits by 4 people & 1 robot.** * Igor Eisberg - 23 commits * Dependabot (Robot) - 15 commits * Connor Tumbleson - 9 commits * jpstotz - 1 commit * salvogiangri - 1 commit * * * # Changes since 2.12 * [#3820] Drop support for aapt1.

The effort put in to have LLM generated harvesting scripts and sending PRs to the top repos is one way to go about it.

On top of having comments to persuade folks that its "legitimate" is too good.

php sample of using responses() facade

I worked alongside momostafa to bring the @OpenAI
Responses API to PHP.

This is a beast of an API supporting 5 different input formats, 4 different tools and a lot more. Fully typed into the OpenAI-PHP library.

v0.13.0 of the library is out now with support!

- Somehow donated to "@ghost" which is the deleted account on GitHub
- The downloaded file does not tell you the minimum donation amount for any maintainer.
- Says all my donation to 119 people are "pending" still

I'm happy I did the donation, but holy cow GitHub that was a terrible experience.

- GitHub only supports 100 at at time, so needed 2 files.
- GitHub rounded down at payment time, so all my $2.57 became $2
- Expected a charge of $238, but instead got $272
- Got 3 CC charges ($40, $38, $160) but only did 2 files.
- 9 maintainers somehow got $4

I did my first ever bulk sponsorship on @github.com and boy it was a challenge.

- Export 193 maintainers (from code I use)
- Expect to donate $500 so 2.57 per person.
- Only 119 valid because "minimum donation amount" higher than that (some maintainers minimum are $100)
