I also met the problem and have solved it:

remove the /Users/your user /Library/apktool/framework/1.apk
2.get another framework-res.apk from your phone ,it in /system/framework
install the framework-res.apk

apktool if framework-res.apk

Same problem here. imesong's suggestion does rather sound like a workaround than a real solution.

Apktool has no knowledge of framework files. It does not track, have knowledge of, or anything to do with them. If they become out of date, deletion of the default framework and letting apktool recreate it is a valid solution. Upgrade notes when this is needed notes this.

imesong solution worked for me. had the same problem with Samsung galaxy S3
It would be helpful if the app provided slightly more meaningful report rather than an exception report. Exception is an indicator of a bug.
