After running the command, you will see the path to the APK file on your device. To view the SHA1 of this APK, you can use the following ADB command:
```markdown
adb shell "cat /data/app/your.app.package.name/base.apk | openssl dgst -sha1"
Replace `your.app.package.name` with the actual package name of the app you want to view the SHA1 for.
### Conclusion
In this guide, we have covered the process of viewing SHA1 using Android ADB. By following the steps outlined above and using the provided ADB commands, you can easily retrieve the SHA1 of any installed APK on your Android device. Remember to replace the placeholder package names with the actual names of the apps you are working with.
