Script to install .apk and .obb (Split binary) onto Android device
Raw
readme.md

This bash script was written to easily install an .apk and the matching .obb file (also know as a split binary build) on an Android device. It's basically just a wrapper for some adb commands.

Prerequisites

  • This script assumes you have adb (Android debug bridge) installed
  • This script has only been tested on macOS

How to run

  • Download this script
  • Change the project_name in the script or specify a project name with -f (See options below)
  • Place script where the .apk and .obb are located
  • cd to .apk and .obb location,type install_obb.sh
  • Huzzah!
  • Side-note - If you have multiple .apk and .obb files in the directory with the same name, the script will just take the most recent

Options

  • install_obb.sh -r - re-install the app and keep its data on the device. Off by defaut
  • install_obb.sh -f - Overwrite default project name in script

To run script globally

  • Put script in /usr/local/bin, or directory of your choice
  • Then export path to bash profile
  • echo ‘export INSTALL_OBB_SCRIPT=/usr/local/bin/install_obb.sh’ >> ~/.bash_profile
  • echo ‘export PATH=${PATH}:$INSTALL_OBB_SCRIPT >> ~/.bash_profile
  • . ~/.bash_profile
  • Now you can script from anywhere
  • Double Huzzah!

Be careful not to leave the speech marks around your project name, or this won't push the obb correctly (or at least it didn't for me)

@markf-hutch Ha, only just seen this updated. No need for double quotes, nothing to be protected from reinterpretation
