Hi,

I tried this but it created an error:

What's the problem here?

Thanks in advance!

dana-at-cp commented 7 years ago

@Patrickology I'm guessing the APK file is malformed. Did the APK file come from the Google Play store?

CampBlanc commented 7 years ago

No it didn't..

dana-at-cp commented 7 years ago

@Patrickology Please attach the APK file giving you trouble.

Hi @dana-at-cp, i have the same error trying to create a backdoor in the facebook messenger.

I'm also tried whit another apk, this time was the notebok_V7 (downloaded from this page https://apkpure.com/notebook/mml.RapidNotes.android/download?from=details) and doesn't work either. This is the error: [*] Aligning recompiled APK...done. [!] Failed to align recompiled APK

I can't even remember which apk it was, not from the Playstore anyway. No worries about it bro

@Patrickology I reran some tests today with v0.2.2. and its working on APK files that I obtained from the Play Store.

Unofficial APK files cannot be supported since there are a number of things that could be wrong with those samples.
