XAPK is another Android application package format.

  • XAPK file = APK file + OBB data file
  • XAPK file = Base APK file + Split APK files

 

Sometimes when we download a game from the Internet, we may meet an APK file with one or two OBB files, or only multiple APK files can be downloaded. If you would love to install these types of application packages on LDPlayer, you can choose to form a XAPK file that can be run on LDPlayer. This article will show you how to form a XAPK file.

 

First of all, make sure that you have installed the following software on your PC.

  • Notepad++ 
  • WinRAR

 

Secondly, click on the following link to download a RAR file. http://encdn.ldmnq.com/other/xapk.rar After you download the file, extract it into any directory. Now that there are several types of application packages, we will illustrate each of these in the following sections.

 

An APK file with one OBB file (Take Free Fire for example)

1. Open the xapk folder and then open the xapk(1obb) folder where there are an Android folder and a manifest.json file.

2. Place your downloaded APK file in the xapk(1obb) folder and rename it to the package name of the game. The filename of this APK file should only include the package name. If there are any other characters in it, something will go wrong.

Up to now you have successfully made the first type of XAPK file.

 

An APK file with two OBB files

You will see an additional OBB file whose filename is like patch.number.package name.obb when downloading games like RULES OF SURVIVAL and Perfect World Mobile. This time you need to open the xapk(2obb) folder in the xapk folder in order to form the second type of XAPK file and then complete most of the same steps as those listed above. The different steps you need to take are the topic of this section.

 

In step 4, owing to two OBB files, you have to copy both of them to the folder you renamed.

 

In step 6, you still have to change all package name to the real package name of the game, change game name to the real game name. The differences are that you ought to change main.number.package name.obb to the filename of your downloaded OBB file whose filename is like main.number.package name.obb and that you should change patch.number.package name.obb to the filename of another OBB file whose filename is like patch.number.package name.obb.
