How to inject FlowUp inside an APK.md

How to inject FlowUp inside your apk

• Decompile flowup sample app
  • apktool d flowup.apk -o flowup
• Decompile your apk
  • apktool d original.apk -o injected
• Copy all the smali files from the flowup library to your decompiled project
  • cp -r flowup/smali injected/smali_classes{N} where N is the next smali_classes group number
• Open your app AndroidManifest.xml and look for the application tag to get its android:name value
• Open your app main application .smali file
• Find your application onCreate method and add the following right after your prologue section

const/4 v2, 0x1
invoke-static {p0}, Lio/flowup/FlowUp$Builder;->with(Landroid/app/Application;)Lio/flowup/FlowUp$Builder;
move-result-object v0
const-string v1, "YOUR API KEY HERE"
invoke-virtual {v0, v1}, Lio/flowup/FlowUp$Builder;->apiKey(Ljava/lang/String;)Lio/flowup/FlowUp$Builder;
move-result-object v0
invoke-virtual {v0, v2}, Lio/flowup/FlowUp$Builder;->forceReports(Z)Lio/flowup/FlowUp$Builder;
move-result-object v0
invoke-virtual {v0, v2}, Lio/flowup/FlowUp$Builder;->logEnabled(Z)Lio/flowup/FlowUp$Builder;
move-result-object v0
invoke-virtual {v0}, Lio/flowup/FlowUp$Builder;->start()V

• Include the following in the injected apk manifest:

    <service
        android:enabled="true"
        android:exported="true"
        android:name="io.flowup.reporter.android.WiFiSyncService"
        android:permission="com.google.android.gms.permission.BIND_NETWORK_TASK_SERVICE">
      <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="com.google.android.gms.gcm.ACTION_TASK_READY"/>
      </intent-filter>
    </service>

    <service
        android:enabled="true"
        android:exported="true"
        android:name="io.flowup.config.android.ConfigSyncService"
        android:permission="com.google.android.gms.permission.BIND_NETWORK_TASK_SERVICE">
      <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="com.google.android.gms.gcm.ACTION_TASK_READY"/>
      </intent-filter>
    </service>

    <service
        android:enabled="true"
        android:exported="true"
        android:name="io.flowup.reporter.android.DeleteOldReportsService"
        android:permission="com.google.android.gms.permission.BIND_NETWORK_TASK_SERVICE">
      <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="com.google.android.gms.gcm.ACTION_TASK_READY"/>
      </intent-filter>
    </service>

• Recompile your project
  • apktool b injected -o injected.apk Keep in mind we are using apktool v2.2.2
• Create a private key, it will ask you for some information you can leave blank and a password
  • keytool -genkey -v -keystore my-release-key.keystore -alias some_alias -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000
• Sign your app
  • jarsigner -verbose -sigalg SHA1withRSA -digestalg SHA1 -keystore my-release-key.keystore injected.apk some_alias
• Install the app and try it out
  • adb install injected.apk
• If the app crashes it is most likely because FlowUp and the application are using different versions of the same library. Try renaming the library package inside the FlowUp code and all its usages within FlowUp. For example, if there is a problem with gson, rename the directory from com/google/gson/ to com/google/flowupgson/, then you will have to replace all occurrences in that directory of the string Lcom/google/gson with Lcom/google/flowupgson. Repeat the process with all occurrences in io/flowup.
