Overview

reseam is the command-line patch engine. Patch authors use it to build and sign bundles; advanced users run it on a laptop to patch APKs without Reseam Manager.

The binary is named reseam and ships from the reseam-cli crate.

What it does

• Applies a signed patch bundle to an APK (single or split) and signs the output with APK Signature Scheme v2.
• Validates a bundle against an APK without writing anything (--dry-run).
• Prints APK metadata: package, version, DEX file count, splits, class and method totals.
• Generates Ed25519 bundle signing seeds.
• Packs and signs a bundle staging directory into a .reseam archive.
• Lists the patches inside a bundle with their compatibility and options.
• Writes or updates a patches.json release index from a signed bundle.

Surfaces it talks to

• Reads APKs and split APKs.
• Reads .reseam bundles. Signature verification happens on load; unsigned or untrusted bundles are refused.
• Writes patched APKs and sibling .pk8 / .der key material next to the output when no key was supplied.
• Writes patches.json indexes for distribution via the Reseam API.

The CLI does not fetch anything over the network. Bundles and APKs come from local paths; the publish patches command only records the URL you supply.
