Android: No imports, exports on native library (:iE , :ii)

Radare2 anal

R2 is capable of detecting the exports of the native library:

$ r2 lib/arm64-v8a/libtool-checker.so
WARN: Relocs has not been applied. Please use `-e bin.relocs.apply=true` or `-e bin.cache=true` next time
 -- Use 'rabin2 -ris' to get the import/export symbols of any binary.

R2Frida (steps to reproduce)

R2Frida is not able to identify the exports or imports at runtime:

$ r2 frida://spawn/usb//com.scottyab.rootbeer.sample
ERROR: error: unable to find module containing 0x0

Setup

Latest Frida, r2 and r2frida
APK:
com.scottyab.rootbeer.sample.apk.zip

[enovella]

It used to work!

@trufae FYI - The native library is not loaded until you press the button at the bottom of the screen.

Seems a Frida bug:

[Pixel 4a::com.scottyab.rootbeer.sample ]-> var test = Process.getModuleByName("libtool-checker.so")
[Pixel 4a::com.scottyab.rootbeer.sample ]-> test
{
    "base": "0x773b794000",
    "name": "libtool-checker.so",
    "path": "/data/app/~~4Uu8HmOowBu7iVyv8KKjgg==/com.scottyab.rootbeer.sample-ZTsctaKJ0O9P8Nl3TA1XWQ==/lib/arm64/libtool-checker.so",

}
[Pixel 4a::com.scottyab.rootbeer.sample ]-> test.enumerateExports()
[]

@as0ler you're right and with Frida 15, it works! /cc for viz @oleavr

[trufae]

please try again. i think the bug was not in enumerateExports, but in the way we got the current module. i fixed that thing in r2frida, so please try again and confirm the bug is fixed now

[as0ler]

Fixed
