Sorry man, you just aren't understanding :(

This tool is crashing, because apktool is not rebuilding. However, this application is not giving me ANYTHING to work with.

 Error: Unable to rebuild apk with apktool

Tells me literally nothing. At all.

Thanks for following the issue template this time, but the outcome is the same. We don't know why apktool is crashing and this tool is not explaining it. Read a few other open bugs here to get an idea what I'm looking for.

I get this log using fatrat

No platform was selected, choosing Msf::Module::Platform::Android from the payload
No Arch selected, selecting Arch: dalvik from the payload
No encoder or badchars specified, outputting raw payload
Payload size: 10092 bytes

[Storing /root/Desktop/TheFatRat/temp/debug.keystore]

Warning:
The JKS keystore uses a proprietary format. It is recommended to migrate to PKCS12 which is an industry standard format using "keytool -importkeystore -srckeystore /root/Desktop/TheFatRat/temp/debug.keystore -destkeystore /root/Desktop/TheFatRat/temp/debug.keystore -deststoretype pkcs12".

Sorry for bothering but I don't know where to ask, yesterday it worked fine..
