Problem reading AndroidManifest

[Dakota32]

Hi, I'm not able to read and change AndroidManifest.xml, it is unreadable, steps to reproduce:

apktool d myapp.apk

When I enter the directory of the extracted apk AndroidManifest is not readable. What happens? is apktool skipping the decoding of arsc resources? if so why. I installed apktool correctly, did all the steps as indicated

Same issue, the output of command:

$ apktool d minecraft-1-20-60.apk
I: Using Apktool 2.3.4 on minecraft-1-20-60.apk
I: Copying raw resources...
I: Baksmaling classes.dex...
I: Copying assets and libs...
I: Copying unknown files...
I: Copying original files...
$

Meanwhile in the regular output contain decoded step:

$ apktool d test.apk
I: Using Apktool 2.9.3 on test.apk
I: Loading resource table...
I: Decoding AndroidManifest.xml with resources...
I: Loading resource table from file: 1.apk
I: Regular manifest package...
I: Decoding file-resources...
I: Decoding values */* XMLs...
I: Baksmaling classes.dex...
I: Copying assets and libs...
I: Copying unknown files...
I: Copying original files...

Apktool version 2.3.4

So as you see it only goes to Coping unknown files now put ls and now you will se a folder with .out extension now cd to that folder and in there cd unknown now apktool d base.apk and done
