Not enough information to go on. In the future, please keep the issue template in tact to make things easier. I'm still unable to gather info details to figure out this problem.

He may have been talking about the apktool x for android, I stumbled upon here since I've got this error myself.

Anyway when importing framework, this is the error -

WARNING: linker: Warning: unable to normalize ""
I: Framework installed to: /data/data/per.pqy.apktool/1.apk

When decompiling SystemUI.apk the error is -

WARNING: linker: Warning: unable to normalize ""

It does decompile the apk. But when I try to recompile this, it gives an error and doesn't recompile

I'm sorry if this is not the place for these issues and for formatting issues if any 🤐

LD_LIBRARY_PATH probably has an empty path eg: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/data/some/custom/: instead of LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/data/some/custom
