Apktool Gui ((TOP)) Download
Kim Hinshaw
Using "./" means that you want to run file located in current folder. Since you mentioned "bash" your apktool should be probably installed in "/usr/local/bin" so when you complete the installation do not add "./" just type "apktool" to run it.
Now when I am in my last step, using APKtool to decode the apk file, however, it shows "-bash: apktool: command not found " eventhough I put all 3 files(aapt, apktool and apktool.jar) into one folder.
hey guys, im trying to inject a meterpreter reverse shell in an apk and installing it on my own phone but when i try to use a template apk with msfvenom, it gives me an "Error: apktool version 2.6.0 not supported, please download at least version 2.7.0". the problem is no matter how many times i try to update it, the version is always 2.6.0 thus not allowing me to proceed. any help appreciated, thanks in advance!
I started my exploration from there. I used the output of JADX to explore where this parameter was being populated. This is where having the decompiled source code was really useful. The file structure in the apktool output and jadx output is the same so we can explore the output of JADX to help us figure out where to insert the debug statements in smali.
I want to embed a metasploit payload in an original .apk, but I almost always get an error from apktool. There are just a very few apps that it worked with. I tried msfvenom, fatrat, and decompiling and doing it manually.
You can also use apktool to repackage decoded resources back to binary APK/JAR. See the section "Exploring the App Package" later on this chapter and section "Repackaging" in the chapter Tampering and Reverse Engineering on Android for more information and practical examples.

As of apktool v1.5.1 I added support for passing the path to apktool via --aapt/-a, so on rebuild just use apktool b --aapt /path/to/aapt nameofapkfolder. So update your apktool and forget messing around with path variables.
Installation, no matter what OS you are using, is a matter of downloading Apktool and the Apktool install files, unpacking them, and then installing it with admin/root permissions. Apktool for your OS can be downloaded from -apktool/. In this example apktool-install-linux-r05-ibot.tar.bz2 and apktool1.5.2.tar.bz2 are downloaded for Ubuntu. Extract the contents to reveal three files in total: aapt, apktool and apktool.jar.
3. In current folder (where you store the LÖVE APK), open Command Prompt/Terminal in the current directory and execute apktool d -s -o love_decoded love-11.3-android-embed.apk and new folder love_decoded will be created. You can use any folder name, just make sure to make it consistent in later operations.
