After analyzing the problem i found that the AndroidManifest.xml is not well decompiled (not well written).
It contain several error it like all atributes name was removed from the file.
I thought that the problem is only on AndroidManifest.xml so i tried to add all attributes manyaly but my big surprise when i saw that all decompiled xml files are broken and not well written.
So my question doesn't any body have any idea about this ? why all xml file are not well decompiled ?
And how can i fix that.
I tried apktools Apktool v1.5.2 and apktool_2.0.0b9.jar and apktool_2.0.0b7jar same problem.
I hope that i will get some usefull answer and thanks for help.
This is how AndroidManifest.xml look like after decompiling the apk :
No body got this problem before ?
I hope that i will recieve an answer from my first question
Hi,
I'm trying to recompile an apk in debug mode (so no changes besides the one-liner in the manifest). But every time I execute "apktool b -d out" I get this error:
Code:
I: Using Apktool 2.0.0
I: Checking whether sources has changed...
I: Smaling smali folder into classes.dex...
I: Checking whether resources has changed...

I tried this both on Windows and Ubuntu and I'm always getting this error. If I decode with -r (copy resources raw) everything recompiles just fine, but then I can't add the "android:debuggable"-value (for obvious reasons, I just wanted to test the recompiling). I googled this error and often there is a problem with "aapt" not beeing recognized, so I added the path to my PATH-variable, but I'm still getting the above output.
Anyone out there with a fix or am I doing something wrong?
Regards,

I fixed it myself. There was a problem with the decompiling of the resources. Three images were exported as jpg instead of png. Re-saving them as png fixed everything. :victory:
Hi,
I have this strange problem... I took a certain apk, decompiled it using apktools, but when I tried to recompile it back I got lots of errors like this one:

Upon writing my question at XDA, I tried offhandedly to do the same thing in a virtual machine I own, not expecting much- but then BAM- apparently the process has ended just fine .
The only difference I see between my PC and my VM is that my PC has the latest Java update (1.8.0_66-b18) and the official android SDK, while my VM has only an older version of Java (1.8.0_31-b13).
So what's happening? and how can I fix it?
Thank you!
I have little to no knowledge of modifying APKs and all attempts in doing so in the past have resulted me in giving up, except now I really need this to work! looks fairly simply according to this old post using apktool and java outlined here https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/11852r/how_to_modify_an_apk/
only issue is I can't get it to rebuild the apk from the folder even if I make no changes. I'm getting a bunch of "Error parsing XML: not well-formed (invalid token)" messages before it spits out the following exception

According to the header of the log, your using the Advanced Apktool by @BDFreak...
You should be posting this issue on that specific thread for the Advanced Apktool.
Please Note that it was just updated recently with the latest Apktool v2.2.4 release (a week +/- ago).
