Hello, I have an issue concerning apktool in kali linux. Whenever I try to recompile without doing any changes, it gives me this error: I: Using Apktool 2.2.2 I: Checking whether sources has changed... I: Checking whether resources has changed... I: Building resources... Exception in thread "main" brut.androlib.AndrolibException: brut.androlib.AndrolibException: brut.common.BrutException: could not exec (exit code = 2): [aapt, p, --forced-package-id, 127, --min-sdk-version, 8, --target-sdk-version, 15, --version-code, 4, --version-name, 1.3, --no-version-vectors, -F, /tmp/APKTOOL6094303095087557697.tmp, -0, arsc, -0, arsc, -I, /root/.local/share/apktool/framework/1.apk, -S, /root/Downloads/flappybird/res, -M, /root/Downloads/flappybird/AndroidManifest.xml] at brut.androlib.Androlib.buildResourcesFull(Androlib.java:477) at brut.androlib.Androlib.buildResources(Androlib.java:411) at brut.androlib.Androlib.build(Androlib.java:310) at brut.androlib.Androlib.build(Androlib.java:263) at brut.apktool.Main.cmdBuild(Main.java:227) at brut.apktool.Main.main(Main.java:84) Caused by: brut.androlib.AndrolibException: brut.common.BrutException: could not exec (exit code = 2): [aapt, p, --forced-package-id, 127, --min-sdk-version, 8, --target-sdk-version, 15, --version-code, 4, --version-name, 1.3, --no-version-vectors, -F, /tmp/APKTOOL6094303095087557697.tmp, -0, arsc, -0, arsc, -I, /root/.local/share/apktool/framework/1.apk, -S, /root/Downloads/flappybird/res, -M, /root/Downloads/flappybird/AndroidManifest.xml] at brut.androlib.res.AndrolibResources.aaptPackage(AndrolibResources.java:440) at brut.androlib.Androlib.buildResourcesFull(Androlib.java:463) ... 5 more Caused by: brut.common.BrutException: could not exec (exit code = 2): [aapt, p, --forced-package-id, 127, --min-sdk-version, 8, --target-sdk-version, 15, --version-code, 4, --version-name, 1.3, --no-version-vectors, -F, /tmp/APKTOOL6094303095087557697.tmp, -0, arsc, -0, arsc, -I, /root/.local/share/apktool/framework/1.apk, -S, /root/Downloads/flappybird/res, -M, /root/Downloads/flappybird/AndroidManifest.xml] at brut.util.OS.exec(OS.java:95) at brut.androlib.res.AndrolibResources.aaptPackage(AndrolibResources.java:434) ... 6 more W: ERROR: Unknown option '--forced-package-id'

However, it decompiles without any error.

When I do the command java -version I get: openjdk version "10.0.1" 2018-04-17 OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 10.0.1+10-Debian-4) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 10.0.1+10-Debian-4, mixed mode)

When I try to reinstall Android-SDK: android-sdk is already the newest version (22.0.1-1kali0).

Please help me fix this issue. Thanks in advance.

@tobgy Apktool doesn't work with every APK out there. As a test, you can decompile and recompile an APK using Apktool on it's own and if it doesn't work then it won't work with backdoor-apk. :)
