Information

1. 2.9.3/2.10.0 -
2. Mac -
3. APKPure -
4. java version "1.8.0_271" -

I'm using xapk-to-apk to transfer xapk to apk of Photovoltaic Calculations_2.1.2_APKPure.xapk, but also shows that repacked failed, and i dig into it,
found that in step apktool b failed. xapk-to-apk tool will produce middle product in .xpaktoapk directory in current directory,
and then this tool will execute apktool b command, and failed.

While I going into .xapktoapk directory, and execute apktool b command by my self, it shows errors below.

Steps to Reproduce

➜  xapk-to-apk git:(development) ✗ python xapktoapk.py Photovoltaic\ Calculations_2.1.2_APKPure.xapk
➜  xapk-to-apk git:(development) ✗ cd .xapktoapk
➜  .xapktoapk git:(development) ✗ apktool b it.ettoregallina.calcolifotovoltaici

2. If you are trying to install a modified apk, did you resign it?:Not modified not resign
3. Are you using the latest apktool version?:Yes, tried already

I'm not exactly sure why those attributes cannot be found. They look like a relic of building splits. I'm not confident yet, but I believe I'll have to update apktool to remove those attributes as it finds them.

Since Apktool cannot remake splits - it seems like right call.

Yeah I guess so. cause xapktoapk tool will make xapk splits into apk, then it goes to make apktool b, this build command deals with no splits but as a whole package to pack apk. Looking forward to your updates. hope this will finally solve this problem!
