Stuck on "disabling certificate pinning"

[KJL777]

Hey! Appreciate all your hard work making this tool. Just a quick question regarding an issue I am experiencing. I've tried a few different apks and always hang on "disabling certificate pinning". The process never completes. I am wondering whether it is just the particular apks, or something on my end.

Thanks very much.

It seems like you're stuck on this line of code:

const smaliFiles = await globby(path.join(directoryPath, '**/*.smali'))

Looks like globby is taking forever to find all the files ending in *.smali.

You could try running globby manually to see if that also takes forever. To do that, open a terminal inside the temporary directory (logged at the top) and run:

npx globby-cli 'decode/**/*.smali'

Thank you for the reply. Hmm, it must be a careless issue on my end. No luck with the above suggestion. Unsure of what I am doing incorrectly.

I just realized that cmd doesn't interpret strings in single quotes the same way bash does, so please try running the command again with double quotes:

npx globby-cli "decode/**/*.smali"

I was able to have some success trying globby manually, but this only worked on a small sized apk (calculator) that I tried. Two other large game apks yield the same result as in the previous screenshot.

Also, despite globby working manually with the calculator app, it still hangs while attempting to locate smali files (removing pinning) using your tool.

Friend of mine was able to get things working on his machine, thanks for the assistance.

@KJL777 Can you tell us how he did it?
