I'm trying to (on-device) unzip my apk, decode the manifest to plain xml, remove some permissions from the manifest, and then package it again.
The problem is at the repackaging stage (aapt p -M AndroidManifest.xml...) because one or two resource references in the manifest, most importantly the application icon, are not resolvable. If I provide the relevant drawable in a separate directory and refer to it with -S then the icon shows up OK in the launcher but it seems that aapt somehow messes with the existing resource IDs in resources.arsc and so all the resource IDs referenced by classes.dex are no longer valid. If I remove all resource references from (the decoded) AndroidManifest.xml before repackaging then it all works fine. But I would quite like to have an application icon showing in the launcher.... Any tips, suggestions etc that don't involve me hacking around in the aapt C code ? Thanks, Pent p.s. apktool is not available on-device -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
