Title Body

I'm attempting to use Android's updater script language (Edify?) to install an APK over-the-air to an embedded device that I have control over. Here's a link that describes the language. My first attempt was the following: package_extract_file("added_files/data/app/test.apk", "/data/app/test.apk"); That resulted in test.apk being automatically installed in /data/data/com.acme.test , however the directory /data/data/com.acme.test/lib is empty, whereas it should contain test.so , a shared library contained in test.apk . (If I manually install using adb install test.apk , the library is extracted.) I then tried extracting the APK into /data instead of /data/app so the OS wouldn't automatically install it into /data/data , and I could try installing using the script: package_extract_file("added_files/data/app/test.apk", "/data/test.apk"); run_program("/system/bin/pm", "install", "/data/test.apk"); That resulted in the following error: about to run program [/system/bin/pm] with 3 args run_program: execv failed: Exec format error run_program: child exited with status 1 I'm not sure why the above error happened. Is there a way to install an APK and have its shared libraries extracted automatically? I could install the libraries manually, but I'm hoping to avoid that.
