Steps to Reproduce apktool Add android:dataExtractionRules in the apk and try to recompile.

Frameworks If this APK is from an OEM ROM (Samsung, HTC, LG). Please attach framework files (.apks that live in /system/framework or /system/priv-app)

APK Any apk with dataExtractionRules attribute enabled in AndroidManifest file will have this error. PFA for the sample apk. SwetaSampleApp.zip

Questions to ask before submission Have you tried apktool d, apktool b without changing anything? - Yes If you are trying to install a modified apk, did you reassign it? - Yes Are you using the latest apktool version? - Yes

[iBotPeaches]

Confirmed. Made a failing test case for now. My guess is I need to rebuild aapt binaries.

[swetasamasti2310]

Do we have any tentative date when the 2.6.2v will get released with this data extraction attribute fix involved ?

Im just adding myself to the issue as Ive hit this with berrybrowser, to get notified if I can help in testing..

aapt binaries + latest framework were added to master. So I will revisit this now.

[dejawho]

Hi, I have the same problem, are there any workaround on this?

[timscriptov]

@iBotPeaches Hello, please add the build aapt, aapt2 for Android arm7, arm64, x86, x64

Quite a few people know how to build the correct binaries for compiling resources

[hackermondev]

@iBotPeaches when will a fix be complete?

@iBotPeaches when will a fix be complete?

I don't know - accepting any fixes or research.

FYI:

For me, the following method worked fine:

$ git clone https://github.com/iBotPeaches/Apktool.git
$ cd Apktool
$ ./gradlew build shadowJar
$ cp brut.apktool/apktool-cli/build/libs/apktool-cli-all.jar apktool.jar
$ java -jar apktool.jar empty-framework-dir --force
$ # and use the apktool.jar instead of one I used..

I was facing the same issue... But I am working on a React Native app and I could solve the issue by downgrading Node.js 18.12 to 16.17. I do not know if this is related at all to this, but I'll leave a comment here just in case it helps somebody.

not working for me.

i think the problem is the SDK version , this error occur on machine with new SDK version

Hi @iBotPeaches Please confirm if this bug "attribute android:dataExtractionRules not found" is fixed in the latest apktool which is 2.7.0

[derekkddj]

Same problem with last version

java -jar /opt/tools/10_Android/apktool/apktool_2.7.0.jar b --use-aapt2 MiO2_resources

[Schwartzblat]

Same with apktool 2.7.0 on Mac OS

[krzys-h]

For me the solution turned out to be

rm -rf ~/.local/share/apktool

as recommended in https://github.com/iBotPeaches/Apktool/issues/2712#issuecomment-1100296423

[RichardHoOoOo]

For me the solution turned out to be

rm -rf ~/.local/share/apktool

as recommended in #2712 (comment)

This also works for me.

Was probably fixed when we updated the internal frameworks, but upcoming release (if it isn't) will resolve this.

@Owyn - Can you run apktool empty-framework-dir and try again?

@Owyn - Can you run apktool empty-framework-dir and try again?

S:\Users\owyn>apktool empty-framework-dir
W: Can't empty framework directory, no file found at: S:\Users\owyn\AppData\Local\apktool\framework\1.apk

Edit: - after renaming apktool_2.9.0.jar to apktool.jar it started working I think, I guess that was important?
