This is written just to help people understand what Neo-Backup does.

As you know, Android is the only common consumer OS that never deletes the installer for as long as the app is installed on your system, so there are
many backup solutions to archive the APKs (including split APKs).

adb shell pm grant com.machiav3lli.backup android.permission.BACKUP

Neo-Backup extracts all the APKs that the Android package manager reports
for the installed app. On a nonrooted device this includes:
1. The base APK
2. All split APKs that the app uses, if the app is a split package

Split APKs usually include:
1. config.arch.apk
2. config.language.apk
3. config.screen.apk
4. Any other splits the developer packaged

Neo-Backup saves each APK as a separate file. It does not combine them into
a single .apkm or .xapk bundle. Neo-Backup can reinstall the full set
of splits at a later time so that you can archive & re-install when needed.

However, without root, Neo-Backup cannot access hidden or protected splits
that the system does not expose, but, luckily, almost all modern apps
expose their splits normally.

I haven't actually used Neo-Backup for this yet, so if you have, please let
the rest of us know how well it worked for you since it seems useful to me.
