Yeah Android 11 is getting more stricter.

That API change seems like it's only for generate smali. See https://ibotpeaches.github.io/Apktool/documentation/

Try editing apktool.yml and make sure zipalign is enabled

I need to modify the google glass browser (Android 4.4) to skip the check for activity before playing back media(audio).

(it requires some interaction, like pressing a button to make the first sound - and my use of google glass should be handsfree, even at start)

I have the APK here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NDYn9Rmg8ZyrE7xuZCB85Fe8g_SGqAan/view?usp=sharing

Can some of you skillful hackers :) .. confirm that the APK can be decompiled, so that one can search for this feature, disable it ... and recompile the .dex / APK?

Hey

I get this error since after I recompile the apk , it is uninstallable on Samsung phone showing error -124 , after I contacted the support they said the following

"Regarding your inquiry, we would like to inform you that the issue was confirmed from the department in charge that an error occurred because the resource was not aligned to 4 bytes in the R OS version.

Therefore, please refer to the information below and correct it.

Applications that target Android 11 (API level 30) or higher can't be installed if they contain a compressed resources.arsc file or if this file is not aligned on a 4-byte boundary.

This file cannot be memory-mapped by the system if either of these conditions is present.

Resources tables that cannot be memory-mapped must be read into a buffer in RAM resulting in unnecessary memory pressure on the system and greatly increased device RAM usage."

any help will be appreciated.

Hello, I already reported my problem a long time ago and I gave up due to lack of time, work, family etc.

Now I resume my work and I have a problem. I decopile, modify images and a little the code so that the radio of my head unit is better in my car. Before with android 9 I did it without problems. Now I decopile and modify whatever it is, I copile it and when I try to install the apk in my head unit with android 10 it throws me a message "the application was not installed". I have done many tests, I have un-installed everything, apk easy tool, java, I have run as admin apk easy tool, I have placed the java path in windows, etc, etc. when I decopile and copy I don't have any errors in the log. I have also tried "extract apk" and "zip apk" with the same result.

Can anybody help me? Does anyone know what my problem is?

Ok, I fixed it, AAPT2 + use the latest apktool.jar

Oh my god, my head is in pain, time to enable set features for people, thank you @evildog1 for this tool...

I'd suggest when using AAPT2, the configuration would suggest using a higher version of apktool.jar upon compilation failure...

Dear evildog1 - thanks for a good tool!

But there is a question:

since the current drag'n'drop in APK Easy Tool (v1.59.2) works not for each path and name of APK-file, - can you add to the context menu also menu item like "apk-info" ?

For now, temporarily, I had to add to the "Resources" folder - apk_info.bat and axmlprinter.jar (attached), and a shortcut on apk_info.bat - into the Windows folder "SendTo", and it somehow helps...

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] evildog1:

Use aapt2

I'll see what i can do with it

You can also use GUI version https://github.com/Enyby/APK-Info

No plans to support it since i'm not a fan of 'Split APK'. If i want to support, i need to create a new tool and depend on a 3rd party tool. I don't have time for that

I will stick to APK format as long as possible
