I know this thread is almost a year old now, but I finally got to my backlog working on diff-zip-meta.py [1], which is a tool specifically intended to elucidated differences in ZIP/APK metadata. And as of today, the master branch supports showing the kind of timestamp differences you reported in human-readable form, not just as a difference in the raw data: $ diff-zip-meta foo.zip bar.zip --- foo.zip +++ bar.zip entry foo: extra (entry): - 55540900035164ea655164ea6575780b000104e803000004e8030000 + 55540900035164ea655464ea6575780b000104e803000004e8030000 - extra (entry) atime=2024-03-08 01:05:21 + extra (entry) atime=2024-03-08 01:05:24 - Fay [1] https://github.com/obfusk/reproducible-apk-tools#diff-zip-metapy
