Since Sony announced that the PlayMemories App are no longer can be download to the Camera after August 31, 2025. https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/articles/00289030

So I am checking if there is a functionality to backup our downloaded apps in Camera to the PC, and able to restore it to the Camera when we do the factory reset? Thanks!

Eventually I figured it out on my own, I just use the Tweak app to enable the ADB feature of the camera Then use the adb shell command "adb shell pm list packages -f" to list all the packages from the camera then use the adb pull command "adb pull " to extract the apk

I just tested it by uninstall the original and install with the extracted one, and it works. Now I'm happy with it.

Wow that's amazing. If anyone bought any of the paid apps, it would be amazing if we could archive them! Actually someone at Internet Archive started: https://archive.org/details/sony-playmemories-camera-apps it's not complete yet tho
