Can't install smalidea plugin #720

Closed deepaksrinivasa closed 5 years ago

deepaksrinivasa commented 5 years ago

Following instructions from here - https://github.com/JesusFreke/smali/wiki/smalidea I have downloaded smalidea-0.05.zip from here - https://bitbucket.org/JesusFreke/smali/downloads/

When I go to Android Studio > Preferences > Plugins > Install Plugin From Disk and select the downloaded zip file, I get an error message that says: "Failed to load plugin descriptor from file smalidea-0.05.zip"

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I'm using Android Studio 3.3.2

Sounds like the download got corrupted. What is the sha256 of your copy of smalidea-0.05.zip?

I faced the same problem. I downloaded several versions smali-2.3.1.jar, smali2.0.jar, baksmali-2.3.1.jar. But they all can not be installed in androidstudio. The popup window said "Failed to load plugin descriptor from file *****.jar". I am using android studio 3.5.

I tried smalidea-0.03.zip. And it worked. It is the only zip file in the list. All the .jar file can not be installed. but the only .zip file worked. I don't know why.

In my case, when I downloaded the zip file from Safari browser on Mac, it unzipped the file by default. So, I zipped it back and tried to install. That's how I ran into the corrupted file problem (with a different sha256).

When I switched off the 'Open safe files' option in Safari, it just downloaded the zip file. I was able to install this file - smalidea-0.05.zip - without any problem.

Thanks @JesusFreke for pointing me in the right direction.

Hello,

sadly this doesn't work for me. I downloaded different versions (0.05, v2.3 and latest) from https://bitbucket.org/JesusFreke/smali/downloads/?tab=tags without opening, just saving, but running into this error every time. At least I tried v2.3 - sha256 is 3cccf68502b6b36c01b517b34892d63a2d7308d8. I have Android Studio 3.5.3. What can I do?

Regards.

Those are source tarballs/zips. Download the smalidea zip file on the downloads tab.

O no, I'm blind - saw the jar files only... Thanks man.
