That is a nifty script - we could add that to the docs to help people find the framework in the case it isn't obvious. |

Do you want to add it to the docs yourself or would you prefer if I opened a PR for it? |

The documentation has an in-depth page on dealing with frameworks, including a chapter on finding the appropriate framework for a given APK. What's currently on this page didn't help me.
I tried to decode the latest stable release of the "Google Assistant - in the car" app's APK (package: com.google.android.carassistant), which is available from APKMirror as well.
Apktool gave me this:
Since this app is meant for cars (AAOS, to be more specific), I retrieved a list of all APK files on my car (which has AAOS and the said Google Assistant app):
It's a quite long list. :)
Using the hints from the frameworks doc page you won't find the APK with pkgId "2" that I needed to decode this Google Assistant app.
I figured I had to find it on my own.
I've made a copy of the above files and wrote this little shell script to retrieve the pkgId of each APK using apktool's output (while trying to install the given APK as a framework):
The script should work on any linux with a Bash shell.
Its output for my car's APKs is:
I installed GoogleExtShared.apk as a framework (it's the "com.google.android.ext.shared" package and has the name "Android Shared Library") and now apktool could successfully decode the Google Assistant APK. :)
