Hi!

I want to ask a question. Sometimes it is possible that an apk file relies (and sometimes contains) different external jar libraries. Is it possible to analyse an apk file with these libraries (can AndroGuard search for code in these external libraries)? Is it possible to manually add these jars (or other apk files) for analysis in AndroGuard? Can you explain how to do this?

You can use one of the non-Android analysis tools in these cases.

While it's possible that one of the jars will have odex bytecode
inside of them, the vast majority of the ones that I've encountered do
not, so you can use the more conventional java bytecode stomping
tools.

As for whether or not Androguard has a feature for that, I haven't
really looked lately.
