If you did not compile the apk or do not have the rights to access the source code, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DO IT, it is illegal in many places.

That being said, if it is your apk and maybe you lost the original sources, you can decompile it with online tools:

or with a local tool:

But keep in mind that in order to upload an update to the play store, you also need the exact same signing certificate.

Ask a lawyer if you want legal advice instead of trusting someone on the internet. Or at least double check whats legal in your jurisdiction. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9674557/is-it-legal-to-decompile-an-apk-and-use-part-of-its-code-in-your-app seems to suggest that at least decompiling is legal in the United States – MoralCode May 22 '22 at 22:57
