@darvincisec can you please help me out ?

[darvincisec]

Hi, In ndk 25.x, the strip command is llvm-strip..Try to find the path for llvm-strip in your ndk path and use it in the place of below path 'C:\Users\Priyesh\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\ndk\25.1.8937393\toolchains\llvm\prebuilt\windows-x86_64\bin\arm-linux-androideabi-strip' Other option is use older ndk versions as used in this project

@darvincisec I tried replacing C:\Users\Priyesh\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\ndk\25.1.8937393\toolchains\llvm\prebuilt\windows-x86_64\bin\arm-linux-androideabi-strip with C:\Users\Priyesh\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\ndk\25.1.8937393\toolchains\llvm\prebuilt\windows-x86_64\bin\llvm-strip but still i am getting error while installing apk, can you please let me know the ndk version which you have used in this project as it is no where mentioned in project

Hi @erpriyeshpanchal, Obfuscated builds cannot be built on windows machine. Follow the comments in CMakeList file to generate non-obfuscated builds. I used ndk version 20.1.5948944

[erpriyeshpanchal]

@darvincisec Thanks a lot for the help the issue is resolved and able to install the APK in mobile. Can you update the code with the latest ndk version and latest cmake version ? Also can we create a callback from C to Android when Frida is detected ?

[darvincisec]

Sure I will update. If not done in the next 1 week, pls raise a separate issue. I will close this issue for now.
