Questions to ask before submission

Not relevant as apktool d is the issue

2. If you are trying to install a modified apk, did you resign it?

Not relevant

3. Are you using the latest apktool version?

Yes

Attempting to do some decompilation of this app to see how it does system modification detection.

Sorry for the delay. Took some time off. This file is no longer available and it looks like a crash in our UTF-8 parser and that won't be patchable without the example.

If you re-upload, just ping and I'll try and triage quicker.

Sorry.

@iBotPeaches Sorry about that, here's a re-upload. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ThMMW8SW_hYTqOU95mvZrY4TxSMu7zzc/view?usp=drivesdk

[iBotPeaches]

Thanks, I got download. I will re-open till I can triage.

Resources in this file obfuscated... it is not strange that an error occurs.

This was resolved when I restructured the StringBlock parser in here: #3239
