Targeting R+ (version 30 and above) requires the resources.arsc of installed APKs to be stored uncompressed

Hello! During the first installation of the minimal example i'm facing this issue:

holdmylatte@Antons-MacBook-Pro minimal % zig build -Dtarget=aarch64-linux-android
holdmylatte@Antons-MacBook-Pro minimal % adb install zig-out/bin/minimal.apk     
Performing Streamed Install
adb: failed to install zig-out/bin/minimal.apk: Failure [-124: Failed parse during installPackageLI: Targeting R+ (version 30 and above) requires the resources.arsc of installed APKs to be stored uncompressed and aligned on a 4-byte boundary]

zipalign shows that resources.arsc is compressed after compilation:

holdmylatte@Antons-MacBook-Pro minimal % zipalign -vc 4 zig-out/bin/minimal.apk        
Verifying alignment of zig-out/bin/minimal.apk (4)...

Verification succesful

I found some workaround through unzip and zip resources.arsc again without compression, but it requires signing apk again. Perhaps there is already an off-the-shelf solution that would be built into the build process?

I'll see if I can reproduce. I'm aware that someone else forked this library and was able to make a fix for this exact issue here:
