Apktool is the Correct version

Re-download :

1. Direct link : https://github.com/iBotPeaches/Apktool/releases/download/v2.7.0/apktool_2.7.0.jar

2. https://github.com/iBotPeaches/Apktool/releases

As mentioned above. Apktool wouldn't report itself as 2.6.0 if its 2.7.0 - I think you should redownload.

I've write (sudo apt-get remove --auto-remove apktool ), and I've downloads it but output text same thing (apktool Picked up _JAVA_OPTIONS: -Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on -Dswing.aatext=true Apktool "v2.6.0 - a" tool for reengineering Android apk files)..... please help me ):

[Anonymous2716]

@msb2couled the ones you are getting from your distros repository can be few versions behind.. That's why you need to download from here and use it like that. As @iBotPeaches showed.

java -jar apktool_2.7.0.jar d app.apk

[Anonymous2716]

Yes that's what I'm saying. Replace the command apktool with java -jar apktool.jar everything else stays the same.

The one you are writing apktool is from your distros repository . and installeinstalled in your OS. Don't use that.

Use this : root@root:/usr/local/bin# java -jar apktool.jar not the other one.

what is this sir?

[Anonymous2716]

@iBotPeaches can help you on this.

[iBotPeaches]

Redecode application with proper version and rebuild again. apktool.yaml looks like it was generated oddly and 2.7.0 doesn't like it.

@msb2couled if you want to rebuild then use the apktool command. Right now.

This issue you are having bcs you decoded with the v2.6.0 that's why you cannot recode it with the v2.7.0.

In order to use it properly you have to decode and recode with the latest version.(with the same version of apktool).

[msb2couled]

sir I had decoded with command (java -jar apktool.jar myapp.apk) but I try build it again like you tell me (apktool b myapp.apk), But this is output text show : apktool b Snapchat
