Download currently uploaded app

Hi,

I received a Roku device that is already in Developer Mode and has an app installed on it. The app contains limited samples, which are insufficient for testing my observability solution. I would like to upload a new app, but I don't want to lose the currently installed app. Is there any way to download the existing app from the device?

Thanks.

Re: Download currently uploaded app

I don't know of an easy way.  Technically you could telnet to the debug port (8085), launch the app, and press Ctrl-C to break.  From there you can use the various BS functions to list the directories and files (start with ?ListDir("pkg:/")) and then print the source files one by one to the console, but you'd have to be really motivated to go through all that.
