I have got many warnings from unpacking to signing the apk, and finally it results in no such file or directory.... Please anyone help me with this, tried the available solutions but the error is not changing

I've had the same problem.

The solution that worked for me in Kali Linux:

Use Docker image "andrewmackrodt/objection"

docker run --rm -it -v "$PWD:/data" -w /data andrewmackrodt/objection \
  -- \
  patchapk -s MyApp.apk -a arm64-v8a

Also think this may be an issue with zipalign itself. You can try to add --skip-resources and --ignore-nativelibs when patching the app. Also check your zipalign version. #673 is the same issue, so I suspect it might be to do with the kali repo.
