Technical Features & Advantages
- Manifest Optimization: Unlike similar tools (e.g., AntiSplit G2), this app automatically removes split-specific metadata from
AndroidManifest.xml. This prevents "App not installed" errors caused by residual split information in non-split APKs. - Merge Capabilities: Supports merging of APKS, XAPK, and APKM formats into a standalone APK.
- Integrated App Picker: Includes a menu to select and merge split APKs already installed on the device.
- Multiple File Support: Ability to select and process multiple files simultaneously.
Usage Methods
- System Share: Share a split APK file and select AntiSplit M from the share menu.
- File Association: Open the file directly and select AntiSplit M from the "Open with" options.
- Internal Picker: Launch the app and use the internal file picker.
- Note: If XAPK files are not selectable, rename the extension to .ZIP or extract and select the internal APKs.

Technical Notes

- Verification: Some applications employ signature verification or integrity checks that may cause crashes if the merged APK signature does not match the original.
