apkeditor's Issues

File dont work after merge

sometimes games dont work after merge. For example - https://apkcombo.com/ru/production-chain-tycoon/com.rsgapps.idle.expansion.tycoon/

I downloaded this game, unzip + merge + sign, but after open its just crashing.

A problem with resource id

The resource id is negative number in resources-ids.json.

There are new features in an APP, and its resources.arsc has two package names, their package names are com.miui.mediaeditor[package id is 127] and com.miui.mediaeditor.dynamicfeature_beauty[package id is 128].
If the apk resource is decompiled into a file in xml format, then the resource id of "com.miui.mediaeditor.dynamicfeature_beauty" is correct; if the apk resource is decompiled into a file in json format, there is a problem with the id of the resources-ids.json, which is a negative number, while It is no problem to calculate the id number in the resources-arsc.json.
For example, the id of "beauty_i18n" in resources-arsc.json: 0x80 * 0x1000000 + 0x7 * 0x10000 + 0 = 0x80070000, which is consistent with the result in the public.xml.

new features in AndroidManifest.xml
<meta-data android:name="com.android.dynamic.apk.fused.modules" android:value="base,dynamicfeature_beauty" />

APP is here：app

-keep-meta gives an error

when trying to run
java -jar APKEditor-1.2.1.jar m -keep-meta -i com.kwai.bulldog/
i get the message - Unknown option: -keep-meta

can anyone give a hint?

APKEditor can't find layout component by resource id

Describe the bug
I modified the Smali code using APKEditor and rebuilt it. However, the built apk says that there is a problem with the resource or that the related resource cannot be found. I didn't touch any of the resources prior to the build, only smali code. However, when decompiling with jadx, the resource seems to exist.
(It's not a smali problem though, it works if you apply the same changes in apktool)

[Question] Compression ratio

Is there any planned control over the compression ratio of the apk? For example, the initial APK weighing 108 MB after simply recompiling resources begins to weigh 9 MB more (117 MB).

Repacking error (xml mode) #2

It may be related to #60 and will close with it.

Describe the bug
After a simple repacking, part of the functionality of the application does not work. Namely, in the registration window, when selecting a date from the datepicker, a crash occurs. I am not sure that you will be able to check it, because there you need a phone number and receive an sms to it.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Used version: APKEditor - 1.2.8, ARSCLib - 1.2.3
Operating system: WSL Ubuntu 22.04
Command: java -jar apkeditor.jar d -i app.apk and java -jar apkeditor.jar b -i app_decompiled_xml

Case sensitivity

hi!
I work on windows, as a result of which I get a case-sensitive file system.
And I ran into the following problem: when unpacking the apk, where there are two resources: jW.xml and jw.xml. one file replaces another and the application is crashed after assembly.

Program Crashes while decompiling to xml on Android

Describe the bug
A clear and concise description of what the bug is.
I have been using since version 1.1.5 so far it was perfect , updating to 1.3.2 didn't go well.
Trying to decompile any APK since 1.3.+ causes the program to crash (Android APK).
Since Android 8, restrictions were introduced to block access to hidden API (com Android.org.kxml2.io.KxmlParser) which APK Editor makes use of.
I changed the package name which prevents the crashes but gives this result
#76

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Used version '1.3.1 and 1.3.2'
Operating system ' Android 12 API 31'
Command 'Main.main(new String[] {"d","-i",paths,"-o",outputdir});'

Log/Stacktrace
Dropping screenshot as the mobile IDE (code assist on Playstore)I use doesn't support copy logs as plain text (sorry for the stress :( )

Apk decompilation error (xml type)

hi!

I use the latest version - 1.2.1.
previously I used the json type for decompilation, now I switched to xml and immediately caught an error where it was not on json.
if you try to disassemble the attached apk using the json type, then everything happens correctly.
but if you try to parse it in xml, the utility crashes with an error at the moment of decompilation

here is the decompilation log in xml:

Readme cloner

Need update readme. New feature cloner

Using protect feature breaks the apk file!

Hi,

I used this tool to decompile my own old application that removed from play store because my older account was suspended :(

The hacking tools are works great like ( decomile , rebuild , refactor ) but when i use new feature Protect APK file it build the apk but you can't use it like a normal apk file I think that because the protected file is not signed and there is no way to sign it with any signer tool.

The apk file that i used is this Kurdish Keyboard file I created my own keyboard for my language and layouts I used open source project AnySoftKeyboard

Whitespace collapsing, Backslash escaping, Quoted escaping not implemented

Describe the bug
Whitespace collapsing, Backslash escaping, Quoted escaping not implemented in APKEditor
See this link for how it should behave: https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/string-resource#escaping_quotes

Build examples:

Input string given to APKEditor to build	Expected text displayed in app	Current text displayed in app
`Whitespace collapsed`	Whitespace collapsed	Whitespace collapsed
`Unicode: \u00A9`	Unicode: ©	Unicode: \u00A9
`"That's cool!"`	That's cool!	"That's cool!"
`That's cool!`	`Compile Error`	That's cool!
`Backslash (\\) (\)`	Backslash (\) ()	Backslash (\\) (\)

Decompile example: (❌ incorrect, ✅ correct)

String in android studio	Expected string extracted from apk (mutiple correct examples)	String extracted from apk by APKEditor	String Extracted from apk by apktool
`"Tab ulated"`	`Tab\u0009ulated` `Tab\tulated` `"Tab ulated"`	❌ `Tab ulated`	✅ `Tab\u0009ulated`
`\'single\'`	`\'single\'` `"'single'"` `"\'single\'"`	❌ `'single'`	✅ `"'single'"`
`"\"double\""`	`"\"double\""` `\"double\"`	❌ `"double"`	✅ `\"double\"`
`(\\) (\)`	`(\\) ()`	❌ `(\) ()`	✅ `(\\) ()`
`\u00A9`	`\u00A9` `©` `©`	✅ `©`	✅ `©`

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Used version '1.2.6'
Operating system 'Linux 5.15.90.1-microsoft-standard-WSL2 x86_64 GNU/Linux'
Commands java -jar APKEditor-1.2.6.jar d -dex -i app-debug.apk and java -jar APKEditor-1.2.6.jar b -i app-debug_decompile_xml -o packed.apk

See the original strings used to build the apk at strings (original)
See the expected output in image strings (original) built with android studio
I also attached the output produced by apktool for reference strings (apktool decompilation output). The decompiled strings created by apktool are different than strings (original) but that is not a problem, as both XML files produce the same apk as seen on images strings (original) built with android studio and strings (apktool decompilation output) built with android studio

Problem 1: The output produced by unpacking with APKEditor is not compatible with the format that other tools such as android studio expect.

To reproduce unpack the attached apk. The unpacked strings.xml is not compatible with the format that Android Studio accepts. When trying to build my example apk I get an error due to the unescaped single quotes '. After escaping the single quotes with a backslash \ and building the app I get the output seen in the attached image strings (APKEditor decompilation output manually edited to escape single quotes) built with android studio.

Problem 2: The APKEditor packer doesn't recognise backslash `\` escape codes and double quoted escapes as its input.

To reproduce unpack the attached apk. Edit the strings.xml to the attached strings (original) then pack/build with APKEditor. The built apk will produce the output shown in the image strings (original) packed with APKEditor with is not correct.

xmlns:app breaks down

Describe the bug
During decompilation, the xmlns:app attribute of the FrameLayout root element turns into xmlns:ru.
Xml from the original apk obtained via JADX:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" android:id="@+id/mainContentRoot" android:visibility="invisible" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent">
   <FrameLayout android:id="@+id/mainTabContainer" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:layout_marginBottom="@dimen/bottom_tab_bar_size" />
   <View android:layout_gravity="bottom" android:id="@+id/bottomBarShadow" android:layout_marginBottom="@dimen/bottom_tab_bar_size" style="@style/Widget.WB.BottomBarShadow" />
   <androidx.compose.ui.platform.ComposeView android:layout_gravity="bottom" android:id="@+id/bottomBarCompose" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="56dp" app:cardCornerRadius="0dp" />
   <androidx.compose.ui.platform.ComposeView android:id="@+id/rateAppCompose" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" />
   <ru.wildberries.widgets.SimpleStatusView android:id="@+id/mainActivityStatusView" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" />
</FrameLayout>

Decompiled xml from apkeditor:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:ru="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" android:id="@id/mainContentRoot" android:visibility="invisible" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent">
   <FrameLayout android:id="@id/mainTabContainer" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_marginBottom="@dimen/bottom_tab_bar_size" />
   <View android:layout_gravity="bottom" android:id="@id/bottomBarShadow" android:layout_marginBottom="@dimen/bottom_tab_bar_size" style="@style/Widget.WB.BottomBarShadow" />
   <androidx.compose.ui.platform.ComposeView android:layout_gravity="bottom" android:id="@id/bottomBarCompose" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="56.0dp" ru:cardCornerRadius="0.0dp" />
   <androidx.compose.ui.platform.ComposeView android:id="@id/rateAppCompose" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
   <ru.wildberries.widgets.SimpleStatusView android:id="@id/mainActivityStatusView" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
</FrameLayout>

After the compilation of the same apk, this attribute disappears (xml from JADX):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="@+id/mainContentRoot" android:visibility="invisible" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent">
   <FrameLayout android:id="@+id/mainTabContainer" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:layout_marginBottom="@dimen/bottom_tab_bar_size" />
   <View android:layout_gravity="bottom" android:id="@+id/bottomBarShadow" android:layout_marginBottom="@dimen/bottom_tab_bar_size" style="@style/Widget.WB.BottomBarShadow" />
   <androidx.compose.ui.platform.ComposeView android:layout_gravity="bottom" android:id="@+id/bottomBarCompose" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="56dp" android:cardCornerRadius="0dp" />
   <androidx.compose.ui.platform.ComposeView android:id="@+id/rateAppCompose" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" />
   <ru.wildberries.widgets.SimpleStatusView android:id="@+id/mainActivityStatusView" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" />
</FrameLayout>

If you fix xmlns:ru to xmlns:app in the file with your hands, then after compilation the attribute disappears anyway

META-INF folder is empty after merge

Hi,
after performing merge, in case there are files in the META-INF folder in the main APK and the other (such as config.en.apk,config.armeabi_v7a.apk) has an empty META-INF folder, the result is that the merged apk will have an empty (with folders only) META-INF folder.

Protectecd APK File Could NOT Upload to Play Store!

Hi and thank you for this amazing tool it's very good and helpful to protect our content from reverse engineering or modding the two main feature Refactor and Protect are so great to protect APK file against any editor or modder but it have a small bug when you want to upload the protected file to play store you get some errors that app not compiled properly or it doesn't have meta data com.android.vending.derived.apk.id my apk file is already included that meta data and it's compiled without any errors and it's signed with same signature certificate I can install on my devices but I don't know what is the problem play store console doesn't let me upload it to release new protected version.

Need some help please

Duplicate entries in xml decode

when trying to decompile the attached apk in AndroidManifest, two identical lines are created in the <manifest> section:

xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

APK: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FBpg5RV4-qYTu5pPMCdzoHa7bWaVQsMT/view?usp=sharing

The merged apk file is an invalid file.

I downloaded an apk file named GPark_1.3.0_apkcombo.com.xapk from apkcombo.com, and then used the following command to merge it into an apk file:
java -jar APKEditor-1.2.1.jar m -i GPark_1.3.0_apkcombo.com.xapk

The command executed successfully and generated an output file named GPark_1.3.0_apkcombo.com_merged.apk.
However, I cannot install it on my device, and I'm unable to open it using jadx as well. Jadx gives the following error message:

XML entity shows up as "&" instead of "&" after repacking apk

Describe the bug
It appears that APKEditor cannot correctly handle XML entities in resource strings.
String in source code: <string name="test_string">\"Alma\" & Körte</string>.

Actual behaviour: The string shows up as "Alma" & Körte after repacking the apk.

ApplicationInfo.metaData very strange error

Describe the bug
The application has metadata specified in the application tag. In the original apk, you can get the value of the key com.push server.android.serverparyid with the ApplicationInfo.metaData.getString method. But after recompiling without making changes, this method starts returning null and only ApplicationInfo.metaData.getInt works. And I can't figure out why...

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Used version: 1.2.9
Operating system: WSL Ubuntu 22.04
Command: java -jar apkeditor.jar d -i app.apk & java -jar apkeditor.jar b -i app_decompiled_xml

The problem appears in the method Lcom/edna/android/push_lite/repo/config/NetworkConfiguration;->initPrimaryServer(Landroid/os/Bundle;)V at line invoke-virtual {p1, v0}, Landroid/os/BaseBundle;->getString(Ljava/lang/String;)Ljava/lang/String; (it returns null on recompiled apk)
The value itself is specified in the manifest:

<application android:theme="@style/FaceliftTheme"
...
<meta-data android:name="com.pushserver.android.serverPrimaryId" android:value="@string/mfms_primary_id" />
...
</application>

Additional context
I wrote a simple program that requests metadata from the application and shows the problematic key (the first line), and also outputs the entire contents of the Bundle: https://drive.google.com/file/d/14Xh4xnmDz5wcJx9a0v1TDp_ACw1WkCEi/view?usp=sharing
There you need to click on the FAB at the bottom to get the data. the original application must be installed accordingly

Can you support input XAPK path to automatically extract it and proceed the merging process? I'm lazy to extract it manually just to use the input path

Preserve multiplexed APK

Describe the bug
Since we bypass security with original APK inside modified APK, we needed to multiplex APK in order to reduce the size of APK.
APKEditor does not support multiplexed APK, so any modifications will lose multiplex and revert size to original. For example, multiplexed APK is 189 MB. After modification using APKEditor, the size reverts back to 369 MB

See the details how multiplex technique works. The source is written in Java too, makes it easier to adopt to your project! https://github.com/L-JINBIN/ApkDataMultiplexing

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
I don't want to give details about bypassing but you can easly replicate it

Put original APK inside an APK you want to be modified (e.g. /assets/sample.apk)
Multiplex the APK file from /assets/sample.apk using ApkDataMultiplexing. You need your own jks file to sign and multiplex it
Make any modifications using APKEditor
