Error while encoding APK file with apk-mitm and Apktool about apk-mitm HOT 3 OPEN

Solution to the problem:

during --wait function you should copy the files to another location, add resources.arsc to the decoded folder and enter the path to the decoded folder in place of the former path to the application.

However, I got another problem: signing the app doesn't work. Lol. Stupidity

It's all about Apktool compatibility. I think only apktool dev can bring any changes to make it works. Check that: iBotPeaches/Apktool#3436

from apk-mitm.

apktool d -f -r apkfilename.apk
here -f is to replace previous decompiled apk's code and -r is to ignore the decompiling of resources.

this would prevent the resources from being decompiled and will simply copy the same resources when you recompile the apk.

However, it is not possible to set these apktool settings in mitm-app? I couldn't find it. Please help me

apktool -r d *.apk

just add -r .

-r, --no-res
This will prevent the decompile of resources. This keeps the resources.arsc intact without any decode. If only editing Java (smali) then this is the recommended action for faster decompile & rebuild
