Intune app wrapping tool (please complete the following information):

• What version of the wrapper are you using? Are you using the latest version? 1.0.2554.2
• What platform is your app based in (Java, Xamarin based, Cordova, etc)? Java
• For pre-wrapping errors, does the app build without being wrapped? yes

Additional context: All the resources referred are inside Android SDK-28

Hi @AiswaryaSam can you please attach the full log file. There should be a message at the end of wrapping that describes the log file location. It should look like Verbose logs can be found at:

Also, do you know what the build tools version your app is built with? Is the compile SDK also 28?

[AiswaryaSam]

Hi @rygo-msft, the compile SDK version is 28 and the build tools version is 28.0.3.

Here is the full logs: log.txt

Please let me know if you need any other information. Thanks!

[rygo-msft]

From what I can tell the issue is coming from an array resource (or a resource incorrectly decompiled as an array type) error: invalid value for type 'array'. Expected a reference.

@AiswaryaSam, I haven't been able to reproduce this locally as it is likely either app specific or specific to a particular library included in the app.

Would you be able to share the full list of dependencies included in the app (including the versions). Even better would be if you could share an apk that reproduces the issue. You likely could make a stub app project with just the dependency references in this case.

[AiswaryaSam]

Hi @rygo-msft, As the log refers to arrays.xml, I could only find the below references for arrays.xml in my project and it refers to android 28 platform. references

As suggested, I shall try the stub project as well and let you know. Thank You!

[rygo-msft]

Hi @AiswaryaSam, are you still seeing this issue? Did you have any luck creating a sample app that reproduces the issue?

[AiswaryaSam]

Hi @rygo-msft , the issue was resolved after resolving removing missing string-array resources in default strings file
