# split-select(1)

APK split and selection tool WARNING: This manual might be outdated, please refer to split-select --help.

## NAME

split-select - APK split and selection tool

WARNING: This manual might be outdated, please refer to `split-select --help`.

## SYNOPSIS

**split-select** –help

**split-select** –target *config* –base *path/to/apk* \[–split *path/to/apk* \[...\]\]

**split-select** –generate –base *path/to/apk* \[–split *path/to/apk* \[...\]\]

## OPTIONS

- –help

  Displays more information about this program.

- –target *config*

  Performs the Split APK selection on the given configuration.

- –generate

  Generates the logic for selecting the Split APK, in JSON format.

- –base *path/to/apk*

  Specifies the base APK, from which all Split APKs must be based off.

- –split *path/to/apk*

  Includes a Split APK in the selection process.

Where **config** is an extended AAPT resource qualifier of the form “resource-qualifiers:extended-qualifiers”, where “resource-qualifiers” is an AAPT resource qualifier (ex: en-rUS-sw600dp-xhdpi), and \`extended-qualifiers' is an ordered list of one qualifier (or none) from each category:

-

  ```
  Architecture: armeabi, armeabi-v7a, arm64-v8a, x86, x86_64, mips
  ```

Generates the logic for selecting a Split APK given some target Android device configuration. Using the flag **–generate** will emit a JSON encoded tree of rules that must be satisfied in order to install the given Split APK. Using the flag **–target** along with the device configuration will emit the set of Split APKs to install, following the same logic that would have been emitted via JSON.
