What lives inside the APK

Every APK is essentially a ZIP archive. These are the folders/files you will see after unzipping 1xbet.apk.

Key folders in the standard build (24.2.0)
Path Description Notes
AndroidManifest.xml Declares permissions, activities, deep links. Binary XML; view via aapt dump xmltree or APK Analyzer.
classes.dex (×2) Dalvik bytecode containing the app logic. Large builds split into multiple DEX files.
lib/arm64-v8a/*.so Native libraries for payment providers, streaming codecs. No x86 libs; emulators rely on ARM translation.
res/ Compiled resources (layouts, strings, drawables). Use apktool d or Android Studio to view.
assets/ A/B testing configs, animation JSON, localized promos. Human-readable JSON after extraction.
META-INF/ Certificate, signature block, manifest hashes. Never delete or alter—integrity checks will fail.

Split APKs

How modules are arranged

Modern releases ship as app bundles converted into split APKs. Each module handles a specific configuration.

base.apk

  • Contains core logic, UI, manifest.
  • Installed on every device.
  • Size ≈ 60 MB.

config.abi.apk

  • ARM vs ARM64 native libraries.
  • Ensures you don’t download unused binaries.

config.xxhdpi.apk

  • Density-specific images.
  • Phones get the variant that matches their screen DPI.

config.lang.apk

  • Localization strings (bn, en, hi, etc.).
  • Multiple language splits are installed if your device uses them.

feature sportsbook/casino

  • Optional features toggled for A/B tests.
  • Bundled inside compatibility builds for offline installs.

Installer metadata

  • bundletool.json inside our ZIP explains mapping between splits.
  • Use bundletool install-apks to deploy all modules at once.

Inspection commands

Peek inside without breaking integrity

1

Unzip safely

unzip 1xbet.apk -d 1xbet_contents (macOS/Linux) or use 7-Zip on Windows. Never modify and repackage unless you know what you’re doing.

2

Dump manifest

aapt dump xmltree 1xbet.apk AndroidManifest.xml shows permissions, deep links, activities.

3

View resources & code

Use jadx-gui 1xbet.apk or Android Studio’s APK Analyzer to inspect strings, layouts, DEX.

4

Verify signature

apksigner verify --print-certs 1xbet.apk should display the SHA-256 fingerprint 8F:B2:...:91.

Best practices

Keep audits safe & compliant

Work on copies

  • Never analyze the live APK inside /data/app/. Copy the file first.
  • Use a dedicated folder with read-only permissions.
  • Delete extracted files after verification.

Keep hashes handy

  • Store the official SHA-256 in a password manager.
  • Label each APK with version + hash for future comparisons.
  • Share only the official /link/ URL to avoid tampering.

Troubleshooting

When inspection tools fail

“Zip file invalid”

The download likely truncated. Re-download the APK and compare hashes before unzipping.

APK Analyzer crashes

Update Android Studio or switch to jadx; large APKs can exhaust memory in older IDE builds.

Apksigner reports mismatch

You’re not using the official file. Delete it immediately and fetch the verified build.

Cannot install split APKs

Use bundletool install-apks --apks 1xbet.apks or APKMirror Installer to deploy all modules at once.

FAQ

File structure questions

The APK includes the manifest, DEX files, resources, assets, native libs, and META-INF signatures. See the table above for details.

Yes for modern devices. If you install only the base APK, languages or graphics may be missing. Use bundle installers or our compatibility build.

Modifications will break the signature and can violate 1xBet’s ToS. Inspect, but don’t distribute altered builds.

Use APK Analyzer, jadx, or standard unzip commands. We listed the exact steps in the inspection section.
