[Soot-list] Converting .jimple files back into a .dex file and reassembling the apk!

[Modhi Alsobiehy]

Hi all,

I am trying to automate an instrumentation of an apk but for some reason it is not working as expected!

because of that, I want to do it manually to make sure that the instrumenting statements are correctly placed..

For this to be done, in the ccs2013 tutorial  slide #114 , the steps are:


1• Convert APK to .jimple files (-f jimple)

2• “Instrument” .jimple files manually by editing them in your favorite text editor

3• Convert .jimple files back into a .dex file (-src-prec jimple)

4• Reassemble APK

5• Test the generated APK

6• If it works, automate the instrumentation

steps 1,2, and 3 are done smoothly. I got the classes.dex file, however I did not get how to do step 4! 

I would really appreciate some guidelines explaining how to reassemble an apk starting from classes.dex file!

Thanx,

Modhi,,
