Is it possible to get any information about the package or the application from the apk file without installing it in the Android environment?
If you want to locate the APK files in your Android phones, you can find the APK for user-installed apps under /data/app/directory while the preinstalled ones are located in /system/app folder and you can access them by using ES File Explorer.
It contains all the resources an app needs to run, including its Java code, native libraries, assets, manifest file, resource files, etc. The APK file format was created, so developers could deliver software to devices in a single compressed file. All the user-oriented programs on smart Android devices use APK files.
$ aapt dump badging <path-to-apk>
