Adb command to get versionCode from apk [duplicate]

Question

Is there an adb command to run on a .apk which gives me the android:versionCode that is set in the AndroidManifest file of that apk?

Basically, how do I get the version code of the apk using adb?

Answer 1

For Version Name :

adb shell dumpsys package my.package | grep versionName

For Version Code :

adb shell dumpsys package my.package | grep versionCode

Also you can try this below too:

Android: Get versionName or versionCode of an APK from the command line You can use aapt in android's build-tools directory of whatever build tools version you're using.

You pass that tool the badging command, and then pass it the location of your APK.

Example:

$ANDROID_HOME/build-tools/24.0.2/aapt dump badging app/build/outputs/apk/app-release.apk

If you scroll through all the output, you can find the versionName and versionCode.
