The APK_STORAGE directory
The APK_STORAGE
is where Raccoon keeps the installation files of downloaded apps. It is possible (even desirable) to store multiple versions of the same app (e.g. to roll back an update that causes trouble). In order to do so, files and directories must adhere to a strict naming convention:
- For every app downloaded, Raccoon creates an app directory in the
APK_STORAGE
. The name of that directory is derived from the app's packagename. - Within an app directory, multiple installation files may be stored. The name of each file is derived from the app's packagename, versioncode and suffixed by ".apk".
- Large apps (50MB+) may also make use of expansion files. Expansion files are suffixed by ".obb".
It is save to manually delete APK and OBB files as well as entire directories. It is also possible to copy files/directories between archives. The one thing that is not allowed is to rename files/directories.
