Issue when cloning the project.

[githubashutoshsoni]

I cloned the project but was faced with a security exception after installing the app on my phone.

Can you please let me know what is going wrong and provide a fix? thanks!

[KieronQuinn]

Have you compiled both Now Playing and Ambient Music Mod, or just Ambient Music Mod?

[githubashutoshsoni]

I've compiled only ambient music mod. from this repository.

[githubashutoshsoni]

okay, i'm trying the readme of now playing will let you know if i face any issues then. thanks!

[githubashutoshsoni]

hey I've been getting this error. I have cloned both the projects. so, for NowPlaying I am running the command to generate the release build.

> Task :copyOverlay FAILED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':copyOverlay'.
> from.listFiles() must not be null

Also despite having a local version of nowPlaying installed from the repository it keeps downloading when I open the ambientMusicMod. Should this be stopped because signature varies and I'm unable to install the nowplaying that is downloaded from the server. it should use the one that is currently installed? am I right?

[KieronQuinn]

Now a duplicate of #102. As for the downloading, it checks if the local version is the same version, so make sure you've not built with a different version code.

[githubashutoshsoni]

hey! So I was trying to build the NowPlaying. and this specific file was not present inside the overlay/src/main/smali this is required for the apktool.gradle.kts file.

val rawSmaliDir = File(overlaySrcMain, "smali")

the above smali file seems to be not existing at all. does this get added by you or by the system?

[githubashutoshsoni]

I got it. it was moved to base/smali now I'm able to get past that error. but somehow this is coming up.

[githubashutoshsoni]

Can you please let me know which version of nowPlaying should I use for arm64 devices? it seems like some issue when doing recompliling of smali files.

[KieronQuinn]

The raw smali dir issue has now been fixed, pull the latest origin and it will be there.

As for your resource issue, you need to install a framework to APKtool. The instructions assume you have used apktool before, if you haven't, follow the steps on the Apktool documentation: https://ibotpeaches.github.io/Apktool/documentation/#frameworks

[githubashutoshsoni]

Thanks a lot @KieronQuinn . I read the documentation it seems like it needs an apk file for framework. I don’t have any pixel device at the moment to get the framework thing installed for my apktool. If you have it can you point out to the location or if not can you add to git? cheers

[KieronQuinn]

Any Android 12 or 13 framework will work.

[githubashutoshsoni]

so, I successfully got the 12 framework from my samsing m31 using device explorer. I installed the framework by giving it a samsung tag like this

PS C:\Users\bitcot\StudioProjects\NowPlaying> java -jar .\tools\apktool.jar if .\framework-res.apk -t samsung
I: Framework installed to: C:\Users\bitcot\AppData\Local\apktool\framework\1-samsung.apk

and in the gradle files I changed the decompile base to the following

task<Exec>("decompileBase") {
    doLast {
        assertApktool()
        assertBaseApk()
    }
    commandLine(
        "java",
        "-jar",
        apktoolJar.absolutePath,
        "d",
        "-o",
        baseDir.absolutePath,
        "-f",
        baseApk.absolutePath,
        "-t",
        "samsung"
    )
}

and decompile overlay to below

task<Exec>("decompileOverlay") {
    dependsOn("buildOverlay")
    val overlayModule = File(project.rootDir, "overlay")
    val overlayBuild = File(overlayModule, "build")
    val overlayOutputs = File(overlayBuild, "outputs")
    val overlayApkDir = File(overlayOutputs, "universal_apk")
    val overlayDebugApkDir = File(overlayApkDir, "debug")
    val overlayApk = File(overlayDebugApkDir, "overlay-debug-universal.apk")
    val decompiledDir = File(overlayBuild, "decompiled")
    doLast {
        assertApktool()
        if(!overlayApk.exists()){
            throw Exception("Overlay not built, run build first")
        }
    }
    commandLine(
        "java",
        "-jar",
        apktoolJar.absolutePath,
        "d",
        "-o",
        decompiledDir.absolutePath,
        "-f",
        overlayApk.absolutePath,
        "-t",
        "samsung"
    )
}

So both uses samsung framework that is present in andorid 12. after running the releaseApk --info I received the following error. it's the same one for resource error. i think.

Do you know what I am doing wrong? link for my framework-apk file https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mGFFsKPuy6djKohJD4mHAO7tcq9uzr0B/view?usp=sharing

[KieronQuinn]

I tried installing the framework with apktool if framework-res.apk and it compiles fine. I suggest not using the tagging system, revert all your changes and just install it that way, then compile.

[githubashutoshsoni]

Thanks It's working fine now. the problem was with the base.apk file i was using the wrong one.
