Getting certificate details from an apk

AndroidCertificateSigning

Android Problem Overview

How do I go about getting the details of the certificate an apk was signed with. I have a bunch of apks signed with different certificates and I am trying to group them based on their certificate.

I can get the certificate expiry details using the jarsigner and complete my task but I was curious if I can get any more details or extract the public key ( I believe it stored in META-INF/cert.RSA but it's not readable )

Solution 1 - Android

Try the following:

openssl pkcs7 -inform DER -in CERT.RSA -noout -print_certs -text

Solution 2 - Android

unzip -p Name-of-apk.apk META-INF/CERT.RSA | keytool -printcert is what I used .

It produces information such as the owner, issuer, serial number, valid through, certificate fingerprints, signature algorithms and version.

Solution 3 - Android

The easiest of all:

keytool -printcert -jarfile file.apk

This also works for Android App Bundles (.aab)

Solution 4 - Android

Based on the existing answers, here's the command line for on-the-fly usage of openssl (unzip & pipe the cert instead of defining an -infile option):

unzip -p App.apk META-INF/CERT.RSA |openssl pkcs7 -inform DER -noout -print_certs -text

Solution 5 - Android

without unpacking you can use ApkSigner from Android SDK and following:

apksigner.jar verify --print-certs myApplication.apk
