Steps to Reproduce

if i decompile and compile it again with 0 changes

and compiled it the app installs fine but freezes on start

Questions to ask before submission

1. Have you tried apktool d, apktool b without changing anything? yes
2. If you are trying to install a modified apk, did you resign it? yes
3. Are you using the latest apktool version? yes

[iBotPeaches]

That error for extractNativeLibs is probably one of the culprits and we are tracking that in #2490. I don't see a logcat to triage the freezing, so will close as duplicate.

[iBotPeaches]

There is nothing in this logcat that suggests like a bad/messed up resource. My guess is this is just anti-tamper behavior and not something Apktool can resolve in every case.

I see no solution forward with this - so closing. My original comment still stands about the extractNativeLibs error.
