AndroidManifest.xml: Tag <provider> attribute authorities has invalid type 7

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. apktool -m -d d -o apkdebugout com.couchsurfing.mobile.android.apk
2. apktool -m b -d apkdebugout -o ./apkbuild/com.couchsurfing.mobile.android.apk

What is the expected output?

I: Building apk file...

What do you see instead?

AndroidManifest.xml:46: Tag <provider> attribute authorities has invalid type 7.

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

2.0.0-RC3, Mac OS X 10.10.1

Please provide any additional information below.

I was able to fix the output Manifest manually by changing 
"@string/provider_authority" to a string literal 
"com.couchsurfing.mobile.provider.dataprovider"

These parameters you are using don't make much sense.

-m should not be used if you plan on recompiling. -m just tries to match the 
decoded apk to the original as best as possible, some of those changes prevent 
recompiling.

-d is for smali debugging. There is no reason why it should be used with -m.

Since I don't know your usecase, you might be trying to use one/other. Either 
way, I couldn't duplicate.
