The CLI version (apk-downloader.bat) provides a full-featured command-line interface with interactive menus, color-coded output, and all the capabilities of the web interface.
The CLI doesn’t require Node.js - it’s a standalone Windows batch script that uses ADB directly.
The CLI runs adb devices to find all connected devices:
"%ADB_EXE%" devices 2>nul > "%TMP_DEVLIST%"

'adb' is not recognized
ADB is not installed or not in PATH. Use option [4] from the main menu to configure ADB.
Device not authorized
The Android device hasn’t authorized your PC. Check the device screen for the authorization prompt and tap Allow.
Extraction fails with 'error: more than one device'
Multiple devices are connected. The CLI should prompt you to select one - if not, disconnect other devices or use the -s flag manually.
WiFi connection drops frequently
WiFi debugging ports change when the device restarts or toggles the wireless debugging feature. Save the device and use [C] to reconnect - it handles re-pairing automatically.
