Steps to Reproduce

1. Downloaded HomeHawk APK from ApkCombo
2. java -jar ~/.apklab/apktool_2.8.1.jar d ~/Downloads/HomeHawk_3.8_apkcombo.com.apk -o ~/Downloads/HomeHawk_3.8_apkcombo.com --only-main-classes

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

HomeHawk app from the Play Store, downloaded with Apkcombo

Questions to ask before submission

1. Have you tried apktool d, apktool b without changing anything? Yes
2. If you are trying to install a modified apk, did you resign it? N/A
3. Are you using the latest apktool version? Yes

Final Note: I was able to workaround this problem by manually unzipping the apk and rezipping it.
I noticed there was #3178, but it looks like it's still broken.

I guess your system may be rejecting system property sets? What happens when you manually set jdk.util.zip.disableZip64ExtraFieldValidation to true?

May one of you try the upgraded helper scripts I've attached in this pr? #3215

To be honest - this doesn't make sense. The Security Manager reads as the only reason you wouldn't be allowed to set this at runtime, which has been deprecated for years.

Tested. This pr #3215 worked for me on both Windows and macOS platforms.

Thanks. Since you can use the existing Apktool version you have w/ that patch. I'll do a bit more search why the System.setProperty didn't work and close this out.

For the reason why System.setProperty does not work please see my comment here: #3174 (comment)
