How to find out which signature verison an APK file has?

As you know there is two schemas for signing an APK file.(V1 (Jar Signature) and V2 (Full APK Signature).)

I have an APK file in hand and want to know whether it contains V1 or V2 or both. Is there a CLI tool which I can use it to do so?

The Android SDK tools has a tool called apksigner which allows you to verify the signature.

See https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line/apksigner#options-verify

$ apksigner verify --print-certs --verbose app-name.apk

You can find the binary under: [Path to Android SDK]/build-tools/28.0.3/apksigner

(Replace 28.0.3 which whatever version of build-tools you have)

Using this repository one can easily verify each of apk signatures.

Example: 

$ ./print-apk-signature kodi-18.3-Leia-arm64-v8a.apk
