Steps to Reproduce

apktool
got the apk, changed a eqz to a nez to defeat cert pinning, saved it.
did 'apktool b base' in the folder with base in it, got the above error
I checked and there isn't a 'build' folder in 'base', I get that, just wondering why there isn't one/how to get around it.

Frameworks

If this APK is from an OEM ROM (Samsung, HTC, LG). Please attach framework files
(.apks that live in /system/framework or /system/priv-app)

APK

If this APK can be freely shared, please upload/attach a link to it.

Questions to ask before submission

Have you tried apktool d, apktool b without changing anything?YES, still got errors
If you are trying to install a modified apk, did you resign it?I modified it, but need to build before I resign it.
Are you using the latest apktool version? no, using 2.1.1

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

MJM111 · 2017-06-19T20:48:25Z

I'm using 2.1.1 because I heard there was a regression error in the latest version. Will try latest version and post here.

iBotPeaches · 2017-06-19T20:50:23Z

Interesting. So a regression with latest that no one shares with the bug tracker? That will make sure it gets fixed :o

On topic...
So the application was named base.apk? You decoded to base/ folder? then compiled via apktool b base? This error is some environmental oddity where the assembled dex file is not to be found.

MJM111 · 2017-06-19T20:58:15Z

Thanks for the quick response. Yep, it's named base.apk. I did:
apktool d base.apk
then altered the smali, saved it
apktool b base, errors

Any way to fix this? Does it have to do with the aapt or the framework?

iBotPeaches · 2017-06-19T21:00:24Z

Not sure. Looks like environment problem from the details I have. aapt is not involved at the assembling of .smali file stage so not that. Frameworks also have nothing to do with this stage, so related to the filesystem creating that .dex file as it assembles the smali files.

MJM111 · 2017-06-19T21:17:15Z

When I run the same command but with sudo: sudo apktool b base I get this:
[sudo] password for mm:

So it seems to get past the classes.dex issue

iBotPeaches · 2017-06-19T21:19:46Z

Another permission issue. You don't have permission to write/execute files from java tmpdir. You can download the aapt binaries used from the repo and use the --aapt binary_path_to_file parameter to load it elsewhere. This looks like support, not really a bug so far.

aapt binaries here - https://github.com/iBotPeaches/Apktool/tree/master/brut.apktool/apktool-lib/src/main/resources/prebuilt/aapt

Delphian2015 · 2017-06-27T15:54:35Z

I have the same error using 2.2.3 jar. What shall we do with aapt? Download and install?

iBotPeaches · 2017-06-27T15:56:34Z

@Delphian2015 If you don't have permission to java tmpdir, that would be a solution.

Delphian2015 · 2017-06-27T16:08:17Z

Thank you for fast answer. Downloaded aapt. Then installed it. After that started command: apktool d base.apk, then apktool b base. And caught the same error.

Delphian2015 · 2017-06-27T16:08:56Z

This apk for Android 7.1

iBotPeaches · 2017-06-27T16:09:16Z

Did you read my comment directly above your first response? #1533 (comment)

You need to tell apktool where to find that aapt binary.

Delphian2015 · 2017-06-27T16:17:46Z

I put all files into folder d:\apktool (apktool.bat, apktool.jar and aapt). Then did in command prompt d:\apktool\aapt.exe. Or is this an incorrect command?

iBotPeaches · 2017-06-27T16:18:34Z

That is not correct. Please read this comment again - #1533 (comment)

Delphian2015 · 2017-06-27T16:22:06Z

iBotPeaches I read, but I am not an expert in this. Can you explain more detail how to "use the --aapt binary_path_to_file parameter to load it elsewhere"? I have all files and apk into d:\apktool. What shall I do? Thank you for your help.

iBotPeaches · 2017-06-27T16:24:11Z

Respectfully, this is very basic parameter stuff. We've now clogged a bug report with 10 replies over things located in the documentation and internet.

apktool d --aapt D:\apktool\aapt.exe base.apk

Delphian2015 · 2017-06-27T16:38:18Z

iBotPeaches before that I was using apk studio, but today I caught the error and downloaded apktool and now i am trying understand how to work with it. I tried
apktool d --aapt D:\apktool\aapt.exe base.apk
apktool b --aapt D:\apktool\aapt.exe base

Caught the same error:

iBotPeaches · 2017-06-27T16:44:11Z

That error has nothing to do with aapt. You can see right here

base\smali_assets\java\com\d\b\a\a.smali[15,4] Class Lcom/d/b/a/a; has already been interned

You must have two classes with same name - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32505162/smali-multidex-has-already-been-interned/32507592

Delphian2015 · 2017-06-27T16:53:50Z

How do I understand this error is related to the language? Because there is no answer in stackoverflow. I didn't change anything in base folder, only did decode and build.

MJM111 · 2017-06-28T19:01:34Z

I've made it a bit further through the build process, I'm now getting this exact error (for which you posted a solution): #1371
However I'm using version 2.1.1. Is there a workaround for that version?

iBotPeaches · 2017-06-28T19:04:10Z

Download the latest framework and install it apktool if newer_framework.apk? That would work around #1371 as that is just updating the internal framework to a newer version.

MJM111 · 2017-06-28T22:36:07Z

From my phone (a droid) or from a newer version of apktool?

Delphian2015 · 2017-06-30T13:18:44Z

The error because of two copy of the folder in smali_assets the first one - smali_assets/java/com, the second smali_assets/com the folders have the same files, if I delete one of them I can build apk with warnings, but the apk doesn't work.

MJM111 · 2017-07-31T22:11:24Z

I got my issue fixed. Thanks for the help!

iBotPeaches · 2017-07-31T22:16:33Z

Thanks for responding, I will close this then as you were original OP.
