AndroidManifest.xml from ADB

It’s possible to find the AndroidManifest.xml file for an app using its APK (e.g. from APKMirror) and then with the help of a tool like jadx, but we can also connect to the Android device using adb connect, and then we use adb shell dumpsys package PACKAGE_NAME (e.g. “com.netflix.ninja” is the package name for Netflix).

This command will return many information similar to what the AndroidManifest.xml can provide.
