This is a bit of a long shot:
Android applications comes as a .apk (which is a zip), and inside there is a file called manifest.xml. You might reasonably think this was an XML file, but in fact it's a "binary XML" file - a mysterious format that the Android SDK tools magic up out of a real XML file. I'm trying to rewrite / modify that file, but I can't find anything on the format, other than some odd mention of some python code in a repository somewhere that maybe decodes it.
Does anyone have the slightest idea where I can find the details of this format?
