"file () does not exist" when decompiling

[Miepee]

Problem description I'm getting [!] file () does not exist when trying to decompile an apk.

Steps to reproduce

1. Download an apk and try to decompile it with apkmod -d <apk> Here's an attachment to demonstrate it (sorry for the font):

Expected behavior Since the file exists, it should not error.

Additional information

I just checked the readme, apparently the proper command is apkmod -d -i <apk>. That fixed the issue, so I'll close this. Was this changed recently? I can't see the changes in the help prompt from apkmod. Even the example in there still uses apkmod -b instead of apkmod -b -i

Ahh nice catch, i forget to edit help prompt sorry for that :)

No problem. Would've been a bit more helpful if apkmod would've properly complained if -i is not given, something akin to "-i parameter missing, no input file specified" or something along those lines.
