All XML files decompiled are encrypted?

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. De-compiling a encrypted apk will result into a random xml file 
2. Redoing this to make sure it wasn't a "first time" thing
3. Re downloading the apk

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The xml files should be decrypted

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

I'm using APKtool 1.5.2 on windows 7 x64

Please provide any additional information below.

I was trying to edit the name and icon of the "my ee" app for secure reasons. 
But the file's of all xml's are encrpted, see my android_manifest.xml file below

Sorry about the spelling, my firefox spell checker is off for some reason. But 
you should get what I'm trying to say...

Very confused.

That looks like an unpacked AndroidManifest. If apktool didn't decode it, back 
to human-readable there would be an error.

Also, what is an encrypted apk? Obfuscated with what tool?

Which apk?

If I read the apk from data/app using root browser on my phone I can see the 
xml without these encrypted symbols everywhere, it would come up like a normal 
xml file.

However, when I use apk tool to decode it; these random characters are all over 
the place.

Seems like my idea is to copy the xml from the root browser of my phone and 
copy and paste it in a email and send it to myself; even extracting the xml is 
the same as apktool.

I've attached the apk with this post if you would like to test it. I think it's 
my PC instead though...

gedit states that it doesn't know it's character encoding; a person tried it on 
a mac and suggested it worked. Should I try it on a linux pc?

Worked on Windows / Linux, on newest 2.x source.

Not a bug. Wait for 2.x please.
