+ # Changelog
2
+
3
+ ## 0.1.0
4
+
5
+ First release of `split-dex`: a Python package with a `split-dex` command,
6
+ built on dexpp's Python binding. It needs Python 3.14 or newer and dexpp
7
+ 0.2.0, and is licensed under the Apache License 2.0.
8
+
9
+ - Splits an APK's classes into grouped DEX files. `--set` declares sets of
10
+ classes and the strategy that splits each one, and `--assign` sends classes
11
+ to sets by patterns on their names. Two sets never share a DEX file.
12
+ - Built-in strategies: `package-affinity` (classes grouped by how they are
13
+ linked, a Java package never split across files), `package-order` (whole
14
+ packages in name order, without reading the code), `original` (the input DEX
15
+ layout, optionally merged down to a number of files) and `single` (one DEX
16
+ file). `--list-strategies` shows them and their settings.
17
+ - A strategy of your own can be used from a file (`FILE.py:CLASS`), a module
18
+ (`MODULE:CLASS`), or an installed plugin (entry-point group
19
+ `split_dex.strategies`). Strategies can read the links between classes with a
20
+ weight per kind of link, and dexpp's analysis of the APK.
21
+ - Writes `index.csv` (`class,file`) and `sets.csv` (`file,set`) next to the
22
+ DEX files.
23
+ - A group over the 64K DEX reference limit is cut at the block boundary nearest
24
+ its middle (a package, for `package-affinity` and `package-order`). A single
25
+ package too big for one DEX file is cut and reported with a warning.
26
+ - A class defined in more than one DEX file is written once: the first copy in
27
+ multidex order.

+
40
+ "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
41
+ form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
42
+ editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
43
+ represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
44
+ of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain

80
+ Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
81
+ with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You

+ or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
85
+ or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
86
+ granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
87
+ as of the date such litigation is filed.
88
+
89
+ 4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
90
+ Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without

+ modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You

+ meet the following conditions:
93

95
+ Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
96
+
97
+ (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
98
+ stating that You changed the files; and
99
+
100
+ (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
101
+ that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
102
+ attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
103
+ excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
104
+ the Derivative Works; and
105
+
106
+ (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
107
+ distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
108
+ include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
109
+ within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
110
+ pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
111
+ of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
112
+ as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
113
+ documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
114
+ within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
115
+ wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
116
+ of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
117
+ do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
118
+ notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
119
+ or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
120
+ that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
121
+ as modifying the License.
122
+
123
+ You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
124
+ may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
125
+ for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
126
+ for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
127
+ reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
128
+ the conditions stated in this License.
129
+
130
+ 5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
131
+ any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
132
+ by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
133
+ this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
134
+ Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
135
+ the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
136
+ with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
137
+
138
+ 6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
139
+ names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
140
+ except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
141
+ origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
142
+
143
+ 7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
144
+ agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
145
+ Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
146
+ WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
147
+ implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
148
+ of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
149
+ PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
150
+ appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
151
+ risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
152
+
153
+ 8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
154
+ whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
155
+ unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
156
+ negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
157
+ liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
158
+ incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
159
+ result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
160
+ Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
161
+ work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
162
+ other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
163
+ has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
164
+
165
+ 9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
166
+ the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
167
+ and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
168
+ or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
169
+ License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
170
+ on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
171
+ of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
172
+ defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
173
+ incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
174
+ of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

+ # split-dex
26
+
27
+ `split-dex` splits the classes of an Android APK into grouped DEX files.
28
+
29
+ It reads every `classes*.dex` in the APK, sorts the classes into sets, and
30
+ splits each set into DEX files with a strategy. Both are chosen on the command
31
+ line. Every class ends up in exactly one output DEX file, two sets never share a
32
+ file, and maps record where each class went.
33
+
34
+ It is written in Python, on the Python binding of
35
+ [dexpp](https://github.com/burogurama/dexpp), which reads, analyses and writes
36
+ the DEX files.
37
+
38
+ ## Usage
39
+
40
+ ```sh
41
+ split-dex --apk app.apk --out out/
42
+ ```
43
+
44
+ With no other option, every class is in one set, `all`, split by the
45
+ `package-affinity` strategy into files of about 1000 classes.
46
+
47
+ | Option | Meaning |
48
+ | ------ | ------- |
49
+ | `--apk FILE` | Input APK. All its `classes*.dex` entries are read. Required. |
50
+ | `--out DIR` | Output directory. Created if it does not exist. Required. |
51
+ | `--set NAME=STRATEGY[,KEY=VALUE...]` | A set of classes and the strategy that splits it, with the strategy's settings. `STRATEGY` is a built-in or plugin name (`--list-strategies` shows them), or your own class as `MODULE:CLASS` or `FILE.py:CLASS` (see [Writing a strategy](#writing-a-strategy)). Repeat it for more sets. The DEX files are written set by set, in this order. |
52
+ | `--assign PATTERN[,PATTERN...]=NAME` | Send the classes whose names match a pattern to the set `NAME`. Repeat it; each class goes to the first pattern it matches. |
53
+ | `--list-strategies` | Show the strategies and their settings. |
54
+
55
+ With a single `--set`, `--assign` is not needed: every class goes to that set.
56
+ With several, every class must match some pattern; end with `'**=NAME'` to
57
+ catch the rest.
58
+
59
+ A DEX file can reference at most 65,536 methods, 65,536 fields and 65,535
60
+ types. When a group of classes goes over one of these limits, it is cut in two,
61
+ and each half is written again (and cut again if needed). The cut falls nearest
62
+ the middle, between the units the strategy keeps together, such as packages.
63
+ Only a unit too big for one DEX file is cut inside, and `split-dex` prints a
64
+ warning that names it.
65
+
66
+ If the APK defines a class in more than one DEX file, only the first copy in
67
+ multidex order is kept. That is the copy Android loads.
68
+
69
+ ### Patterns
70
+
71
+ Patterns match class names such as `com.myapp.Main` or `com.myapp.Outer$Inner`.
72
+ `*` matches any characters except a dot, and `**` matches any characters:
73
+
74
+ | Pattern | Matches |
75
+ | ------- | ------- |
76
+ | `com.myapp.**` | Every class under `com.myapp`, subpackages included. |
77
+ | `com.myapp.*` | The classes directly in `com.myapp`. |
78
+ | `com.myapp.Main` | One class. |
79
+ | `**` | Every class. |
80
+ | `@FILE` | The patterns listed in `FILE`, one per line. Blank lines and lines starting with `#` are skipped. |
81
+
82
+ ### Examples
83
+
84
+ Smaller files:
85
+
86
+ ```sh
87
+ split-dex --apk app.apk --out out/ --set all=package-affinity,cap=500
88
+ ```
89
+
90
+ Split the app's own classes, and put all the library classes in one DEX file
91
+ (cut in halves where it goes over the 64K limits):
92
+
93
+ ```sh
94
+ split-dex --apk app.apk --out out/ \
95
+ --set app=package-affinity,cap=500 \
96
+ --set libraries=single \
97
+ --assign 'com.myapp.**=app' \
98
+ --assign '**=libraries'
99
+ ```
100
+
101
+ Split the app's own classes, but keep some of its packages with the libraries,
102
+ which stay in their original DEX files (at most 16):
103
+
104
+ ```sh
105
+ split-dex --apk app.apk --out out/ \
106
+ --set app=package-affinity,cap=1000 \
107
+ --set libraries=original,max_files=16 \
108
+ --assign '@startup-packages.txt=libraries' \
109
+ --assign 'com.myapp.**=app' \
110
+ --assign '**=libraries'
111
+ ```
112
+
113
+ ## Output
114
+
115
+ In the output directory:
116
+
117
+ | File | Content |
118
+ | ----------- | ------------------------------------------------------- |
119
+ | `<k>.dex` | The DEX files: `0.dex`, `1.dex`, ..., set by set. |
120
+ | `index.csv` | `class,file`: every class descriptor and its DEX file. |
121
+ | `sets.csv` | `file,set`: the set of each DEX file. |
122
+
123
+ Each DEX file is a valid, standalone DEX.
124
+
125
+ Running again into the same directory replaces these files. If an earlier run
126
+ wrote more `<k>.dex` files, the extra ones are removed, so every DEX file in the
127
+ directory is listed in `index.csv`. Other files in the directory are not
128
+ touched.
129
+
130
+ At the end, `split-dex` prints a summary: how many classes were read, how many
131
+ files were written, how many groups had to be cut for the 64K limits, and the
132
+ classes and files of each set.
133
+
134
+ ## Install
135
+
136
+ split-dex needs Python 3.14 or newer. Install the `split-dex` command from
137
+ PyPI with [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) or pip:
138
+
139
+ ```sh
140
+ uv tool install split-dex
141
+ # or
142
+ pip install split-dex
143
+ ```
144
+
145
+ Its dependency dexpp has prebuilt wheels for Linux x86_64 (glibc 2.28+ and
146
+ musl). On other platforms, the installer builds dexpp from source, which needs
147
+ a C++23 compiler (GCC 13 or newer, or Clang 19 or newer) and CMake 3.18 or
148
+ newer.
149
+
150
+ From a checkout, `uv tool install .` installs the command.
151
+
152
+ ## Writing a strategy
153
+
154
+ The command-line options cover the common setups. A strategy of your own is for
155
+ the cases they don't. A strategy is a Python class:
156
+
157
+ ```python
158
+ from split_dex import strategy
159
+
160
+
161
+ class OnePerFile:
162
+ """Each class in a DEX file of its own, up to `limit` files."""
163
+
164
+ def __init__(self, *, limit: int = 100) -> None:
165
+ self._limit = limit
166
+
167
+ def plan(self, classes: strategy.Classes) -> list[strategy.Group]:
168
+ ids = list(classes.ids)
169
+ groups = [strategy.Group.of_classes([class_id]) for class_id in ids[: self._limit - 1]]
170
+ return groups + [strategy.Group.of_classes(ids[self._limit - 1 :])]
171
+ ```
172
+
173
+ - Its keyword-only constructor parameters are its settings. The command line
174
+ converts each `KEY=VALUE` to the parameter's type: int, float, bool, str or
175
+ Path, optionally `| None`.
176
+ - `plan(classes)` receives the classes of one set and returns the groups to
177
+ write, in order. Each group (`strategy.Group`) becomes one DEX file, and is
178
+ made of blocks (`strategy.Block`): classes that should stay in one file.
179
+ When a group goes over a 64K limit, the splitter cuts it at the block
180
+ boundary nearest its middle. `Group.of_classes(ids)` makes one block per
181
+ class.
182
+ - The splitter checks that every class of the set is in exactly one group;
183
+ otherwise the run fails with an error that names the strategy's mistake.
184
+
185
+ What `classes` (`strategy.Classes`) gives:
186
+
187
+ | Member | Meaning |
188
+ | ------ | ------- |
189
+ | `ids` | The class ids of the set, in multidex order. |
190
+ | `descriptors` | The descriptor of every class of the APK, indexed by class id. |
191
+ | `source_dex(id)` | The input DEX file of a class: 0 for `classes.dex`, 1 for `classes2.dex`, ... |
192
+ | `links(weights=None)` | The links among the classes of the set, as a `partition.AffinityGraph`. `weights` maps a `strategy.LinkKind` (superclass, interface, nesting, call, field, type) to its weight; a kind left out weighs 1, and 0 ignores it. |
193
+ | `analysis` | dexpp's `AnalysisContext` for the whole APK: classes, methods, call graph, class hierarchy, cross-references. |
194
+ | `apk` | dexpp's `Apk`: manifest, resources, entries. |
195
+
196
+ There are four ways to use it:
197
+
198
+ - From a file: `--set all=./my_strategy.py:OnePerFile,limit=8`.
199
+ - From a module Python can import: `--set all=my_package.strategies:OnePerFile`.
200
+ - As a plugin. An installed package declares the strategy under the
201
+ entry-point group `split_dex.strategies` in its `pyproject.toml`; it is then
202
+ used by name, and `--list-strategies` shows it:
203
+
204
+ ```toml
205
+ [project.entry-points."split_dex.strategies"]
206
+ one-per-file = "my_package.strategies:OnePerFile"
207
+ ```
208
+
209
+ - Built into split-dex: put the module in `split_dex/strategies/` and add the
210
+ class to `STRATEGIES` in `split_dex/registry.py`.
211
+
212
+ A strategy is ordinary Python code that runs inside split-dex, so only use
213
+ files, modules and plugins you trust.
214
+
215
+ From Python, `split_dex.splitter.split()` takes `split_dex.splitter.Options`,
216
+ whose sets can use any object with a `plan` method.
217
+
218
+ ## Development
219
+
220
+ ```sh
221
+ uv sync # .venv with split-dex, dexpp and the dev tools
222
+ uv run pytest # the tests
223
+ uv run ruff format --check # formatting
224
+ uv run ruff check # lint
225
+ uv run mypy # types
226
+ ```
227
+
228
+ The tests build small APKs in memory. Their classes are copies of the template
229
+ classes in `tests/data/templates.dex`, renamed for each test. The templates are
230
+ compiled from `tests/data/Templates.java`; `tests/data/make_templates.sh`
231
+ rebuilds them (it needs `javac` and the Android SDK's `d8`).
232
+
233
+ To move to a newer dexpp, update its version range in `dependencies` in
234
+ `pyproject.toml` and run `uv lock`.
235
+
236
+ To release: set `version` in `pyproject.toml`, turn the `## Unreleased`
237
+ section of `CHANGELOG.md` into `## <version>`, and push a `v<version>` tag. The
238
+ release workflow builds the wheel and the sdist, checks that the wheel installs
239
+ and runs, creates the GitHub release with that changelog section as notes, and
240
+ uploads the same files to PyPI.
241
+
242
+ ## Layout
243
+
244
+ - `split_dex/cli.py` — the command-line interface.
245
+ - `split_dex/splitter.py` — reads the APK, sorts the classes into sets, runs
246
+ each set's strategy, checks its groups, and writes the DEX files and maps.
247
+ - `split_dex/class_sets.py` — sets, patterns, and how classes are assigned.
248
+ - `split_dex/strategy.py` — the interface between the splitter and strategies.
249
+ - `split_dex/registry.py` — finds strategies (built-in, plugin, module or file)
250
+ and creates them from their settings.
251
+ - `split_dex/strategies/` — the built-in strategies.
252
+ - `split_dex/partition.py` — the package-affinity grouping algorithm.
253
+ - `tests/` — the unit tests (pytest).
