Questions to ask before submission

Have you tried apktool d, apktool b without changing anything?
YES
If you are trying to install a modified apk, did you resign it?
I can not be build it
Are you using the latest apktool version? YES

Dear support
I have a modified version of an old Instagram app to study how Instagram works.
I can extract the file , no problem
but when i want to build it i got the :

instagram-patched62-adb\smali_assets\devoptions\devoptions2\com\instagram\analytics\eventlog\EventLogListFragment.smali[18,16] Class Lcom/instagram/analytics/eventlog/EventLogListFragment; has already been interned
Could not smali file: devoptions/devoptions2/com/instagram/analytics/eventlog/EventLogListFragment.smali

I know that there is 2 classes in the same name but how can i solve this since i did not even change anything!

This is just a guess but it's worth trying apktool 2.4.1 with the "--only-main-classes" decode option. That might help.

It's always a good idea to use the most current apktool anyway.

Normally this is an indicator that you have duplicated classes as you saw. I thought Android verifier would reject a dex with duplicate classes, so this may be a secondary dex.

I would start with an official Instagram APK, because something called "instagram-patched62-adb-new.apk" does not seem official.

I don't think Apktool is at fault here and the crash is smali, which you can find a related issue here: https://github.com/JesusFreke/smali/issues/529
