[iBotPeaches]

Try using aapt2. This error is common for applications built with aapt2, then attempted to be rebuilt with aapt1.

Is the parameter to use during build.

[gazares]

i use msfvenom -x
how to use --use-aapt2???

[iBotPeaches]

No idea, not aware of how msfvenom works.

[gazares]

msfvenom : Hiding the payloads inside the main application, but at the time of the final build, will error this
Not really a solution?

[gazares]

sorry for taking your time

[zawawimanja]

I already solve this problem. Actually for decompiling I am using 2.1 version. Then , the problem when want to build using version 2.3 .

Solve it by decompile and building using version 2.3.

[hane-smitter]

even using version 2.3.4 still has the same problem
