I’m trying to extract the APK file of an installed Android app WITHOUT root permissions.
I thought that this was impossible, because all APK files for non-system-apps are located in /data/app, and accessing this folder requires root permission. Then I found that there are numerous apps in the Google Play store that seem to have access to the APK files even on non-rooted devices.
Can someone tell me how this is possible? Aren’t there backup apps which backup the APK files without root?
