5 years ago please explain better. im away from computer. what do you mean by "excluding the resources"?

5 years ago --no-res exports only source, and no resources. with that, the roundtrip works fine.

thanks. please report the problem to the apktool team. the dexpatcher gradle plugin does not have a solution to patch only code, but you can do it manually using dexpatcher-tool. also see that "patch-dex" sample. sorry i cant help you more.

5 years ago cheers, thank you. I will have a look!
Hi, I started off with the 'patched-app' example. This was compiling fine for me. Then I swapped the APK and adjusted package names, etc. I am not really trying to change anything yet. I just want to re-compile the application.
I am getting the following error and I have no idea, what that means.
