Already fixed here: https://github.com/iBotPeaches/Apktool/commit/c2065995ed5d4e1b69b701c27a0f02f49e528d7b

Will be in 2.4.1

[ifengchao]

Nice work, expecting 2.4.1

[denysvitali]

I can confirm that the issue was fixed with c206599.
Attached you can find a build using the latest commit till now (683fef3) if you can't wait for a release.
apktool-cli.tar.gz

@iBotPeaches Travis CI doesn't store any artifacts for this project: is it possible to change that? It will be nice to have the latest build available on Travis (which could be in turn used for android-apktool or android-apktool-git)

Hey @denysvitali and @iBotPeaches

I used the jar file you had included in the above comment because of the isSplitRequired error while recompiling the APK.

Unfortunately, I am getting the same error. Can you please let me know what to do?

@ifengchao did 2.4.1 work for you?

[denysvitali]

@gameFace22 Can you delete the framework file and try again?

rm /Users/nshaanth/Library/apktool/framework/1.apk

Facing the same issue,

• the build provided by @denysvitali did not work,
• tried deleting the framework file too.

attached error,

FIX:
remove all instance of "split" from androidManifest, then try building with 2.4.0.

_Personally this worked for me:_

go to this commit id c206599
download the android-framework.jar file & then do
apktool_2.4.0.jar if android-framework.jar
then try building with 2.4.0.

(use the framework file from latest build tools imo)

edit:3
as pointed out by @zlrab, is not installing,
remove all instance of "split" from androidManifest, then try building with 2.4.0.

(or)

go to this commit id c206599 download the android-framework.jar file & then do

apktool_2.4.0.jar if android-framework.jar

Your two solutions can make apktool2.4.0 build successfully,

remove isSplitRequired attr

apktool_2.4.0.jar if android-framework.jar

but the generated apk can't be installed on your phone.error:Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_INVALID_APK]

@Gopinath001 The problem is solved,Detailed plan:
Edit AndroidManifest.xml

1. delete the following node properties on the Application:

android:isSplitRequired="true"
android:extractNativeLibs="false" 
//Optional
android:networkSecurityConfig="@xml/network_security_config"

1. Edit as follows,ture modified to base
   old:

<meta-data android:name="com.android.vending.splits.required" android:value="true"/>

new:

<meta-data android:name="com.android.vending.splits.required" android:value="base"/>

1. Use apktool2.4.0 to build the project and install it successfully

[AGSPhoenix]

When can we expect 2.4.1 to be released?
