aapt2 error in ARM 64 linux

[ibrunops]

Hello! I'm trying to use revanced with a custom aapt2 bin for ARM64 linux, downloaded from this repository a few months ago. It worked perfect all this time, but today I am encountering this error. I think it's something related to aapt2 and that's why I put the issue in this repo. Maybe a new version of aapt2 is needed? I am using 'revanced-cli-2.22.0-all.jar', 'revanced-patches-2.187.0.jar', 'revanced-integrations-0.115.1.apk' and youtube version 18.23.35 Thanks in advance

Your aapt2 binary does not work. You can try checking the patches in this repository for a fix.

Hi! Can you explain me more? I don't know how to use the patches from the repo, for example, the one that says aapt2.patch Thanks!

You can review the CI to see how the patches are used

Sorry, are you referring to the patches that revanced uses? Or those that appear in this repo about aapt2? Where can I review de CI? Thanks in advance

Oh, I see. Is it possible with github actions to build a new aapt2 in the repo itself or do I have to do it myself? I still wouldn't be looking at how to use any of the patches, but I'm going to try to continue investigating.

Your custom AAPT may need specific patches from this repository to work. You can see CI how to apply these patches and build AAPT yourself
