To get the APK file of an app installed on an Android emulator, follow these steps:

1. Find the Package Name:

• Run the following command to list all installed packages on your emulator:

adb shell pm list packages

• Locate your app’s package name from the list (e.g., com.example.app).

2. Get the APK Path:

• Once you have the package name, you can find the APK path using this command:

adb shell pm path com.example.app

• The output will give you the full path of the APK on the emulator, something like:

package:/data/app/com.example.app-1/base.apk

3. Pull the APK File:

• Use the following adb pull command to copy the APK file from the emulator to your local machine:

adb pull /data/app/com.example.app-1/base.apk ~/Desktop/

• This will download the APK file to your desktop or the path you specify.

Let me know if you face any issues with these steps!
