1 # APK patch size estimator
2 Estimates the size of Google Play patches and the new gzipped APK.
3
4 From two APKs it estimates the size of the new patches as well as the size of th e gzipped version of the new APK, which would be used in
5 cases where the patches are unexpectedly large, unavailable, or unsuitable.
6 Google Play uses multiple techniques to generate patches and generally picks the best match for the device. The best match is usually, but not always, the small est patch file produced. The numbers that this script produces are **ESTIMATES** that can be used to characterize the impact of arbitrary changes to APKs. There is **NO GUARANTEE** that this tool produces the same patches or patch sizes tha t Google Play generates, stores or transmits, and the actual implementation with in Google Play may change at any time, without notice.

10 ## Usage
11
12 The script uses *Python 2.7.X*, *bsdiff* and *Java* (you may need to install the m in your system)
13
14 For the file-by-file estimation we use a jar (at /lib/file-by-file-tools.jar) ge nerated from: https://github.com/andrewhayden/archive-patcher
15
16 #### To estimate the patches sizes of two APKs run:
17 ```bash
18 $ python apk_patch_size_estimator.py --old-file old.apk --new-file new.apk
19 ```
20
21 #### Output:
22 ```bash
23 New APK size on disk: 18,271,850 bytes [17.4MB]
24
25 Estimated download size for new installs:
26 Full new APK (gzipped) size: 16,339,603 bytes [15.6MB]
27
28 Estimated download size for updates from the old APK, using Bsdiff:
29 Bsdiff patch (gzipped) size: 2,989,691 bytes [2.85MB]
30
31 Estimated download size for updates from the old APK,
32 using File-by-File:
33 File-by-File patch (gzipped) size: 1,912,751 bytes [1.82MB]
34 ```

44 ## Installing external dependencies
45 The script uses *bsdiff*, *gzip*, *head*, *tail*, *bunzip2* and *java* binaries, [**bsdiff**](https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=bsdiff) is the only one not installed by defult in a unix based OS.
46
47 #### Linux debian-based
48 Install bsdiff:
49 ```bash
50 sudo apt-get install bsdiff
51 ```
52
53 #### OS X
54 Install bsdiff using [Homebrew](http://brew.sh/):
55 ```bash
56 brew install bsdiff
57 ```
58
59 #### Windows
60
61 The easiest way to run the script in Windows is by using [Cygwin](https://www.cy gwin.com/), make sure you install *python* and *bsdiff* using Cygwin's installer /setup.
62
63 ## Runing the unittests
64
65 #### Install unittest.mock
66 ```bash
67 pip install mock
68 ```
69
70 #### Run the test
71 ```bash
72 python -m unittest discover tests/
73 ```
