Abstract
Analysts sometimes need to analyze the app depending on the situation. There are two main ways to analyze Android apps. This is the static analysis that grasps the flow of the app through the source code and the dynamic analysis that analyzes the variable that changes during the app’s operation. For dynamic analysis, this can be done by setting the debugging option of the Android Manifest file. In most cases, modification is done by decompiling the app and modifying the original source. In some cases, however, there is a problem with the decompiling process. So we propose a way to modify the debugging option of the Android manifest file to “true” without decompiling the app.
