Here's a script which will do an adb pull of all the various apks into their normal tree and also softlink them all together. do a mkdir root; cd root; mkdir apk_softlinks before running this
adb shell 'pm list packages' | grep -vE "^package:(com.android|com.qualcomm|com.google|com.qti|android)"  | awk -F':' '{print $2}' | xargs -I '{}' sh -c 'path=$(adb shell pm path {} | cut -d: -f2 | tr -d "\r"); mkdir -p $(dirname "./${path#/}"); adb pull "$path" "./${path#/}"; ln -s "../${path#/}" "./apk_softlinks/$(basename $(dirname "./${path#/}")).apk"'; for file in apk_softlinks/*; do [ -L "$file" ] && [ ! -e "$file" ] && mv "$file" "${file%.PULL_FAILED}.PULL_FAILED"; done
I tried the following script but it messed up permissions, so don't use it (just leaving it here for my own reference to fix another time.
#!/bin/bash

# Declare local directory to copy files into
LOCAL_DIR="some/dir"

# Iterate over package names
PACKAGE_NAMES=$(adb shell 'pm list packages -f' | sed -e 's/.*=//' -e 's/\r$//')

# Iterate over package names
for PACKAGE_NAME in $PACKAGE_NAMES; do
    # Assemble package-specific directory
    PACKAGE_DIR="/data/data/$PACKAGE_NAME"
    SHARED_DIR="/sdcard/Shared/$PACKAGE_NAME"

    # Try to impersonate the app and change permissions
    adb shell "run-as $PACKAGE_NAME chmod -R a+r $PACKAGE_DIR" > /dev/null 2>&1
    if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
        # If permissions were successfully changed, copy files to the shared directory
        adb shell "cp -r $PACKAGE_DIR $SHARED_DIR"

        # Pull files to local machine
        adb pull $SHARED_DIR $LOCAL_DIR

        # Revert permissions by removing read access for all users
        adb shell "run-as $PACKAGE_NAME chmod -R a-r $PACKAGE_DIR"
    else
        echo "Could not access or modify files for package $PACKAGE_NAME"
    fi
done
