EllaLauncher Error about ella-customized HOT 8 CLOSED

This seems to be caused by Apktool. Please consider upgrading apktool.jar to the latest version.

Thanks for your reply.
I upgraded apktool from 2.4.2 to 2.5.0 but unfortunately the problem persists. Java and Android SDK versions also comply with the requirements. I tried with different and verified APKs, all having this same issue. Are there any other components to consider?

from ella-customized.

Can you try depackaging the APKs using Apktool’s command line and see whether AndroidManifest.xml can be properly decoded?

from ella-customized.

it seems apktool is correctly decoding the package. I validated the Android manifest xml file as well and it doesn't have any errors.

Frankly speaking, it's been years since I used this tool, and I'm not even the author of the tool, it's difficult to recall all the implementation details. On the other hand, Android has been changing, and it's possible that some new elements in APKs are not recognized by this aged tool (I was using this tool with Android 4.4-compatible APKs).

While I may have some time to look into issues related to this tool later, I would suggest you to look into them by yourselves, given that you already have the necessary environment to reproduce the issues, and I currently don't have more knowledge of this tool compared with you.

Please feel free to share your experiences with this tool here or at the original author's repo.
