    Hi,

    I'm wondering if it would be possible to decompile a game(apk) that was made with Unity so I can learn from it? I'm looking to decompile a few games that were made with Unity and see how they were made in Unity but I don't know if it would be possible.

    Thanks.

    Decompiling other peoples games without their permission is a pretty crappy thing to do, and if they would give you permission to do such a thing then they's also probably be willing to just share the source code with you. If I was you I'd just look around for any open source projects to learn from, or if there's anything specific about someones game that you'd like to know how to do then ask the author and they might be willing to share code or tips with you.

    It's not. You need a project folder to load into Unity, and compiled games lack most of the information that's in the project folder.

    There are some apk decompilers on the net. I haven't used them myself but I've heard some are quite effective.
    If you can get your hands on the .net assembly .dll file, then you can use a reflector.

    Thanks guys. I only want to learn from them and see how it was made. I don't intend to do anything else with them.

    So is it safe to send an apk as a demo for a Unity asset (basically scripts)?
    Thanks.

    You can't because unity first compiles all scripts and objects to c++ and then from c++ to android native or ios. So you must drcompile the apk and then from this java source you must make c++ source and then decompile this c++ to unity project. It can br done but it will be easyer to make app clone using unity.
