Previously in 4882396163f978884256e008fc7fae9201f156b4, strings that resembled a filepath (ie res/foo/file), would be assigned to a ResFileValue, which when attempted to be casted to ResScalarValue would error out. Attempting to check the filesystem for such files, slowed apktool's execution majorly. In order to prevent this, the ClassCastException and other checks related to checking ResFileValue when type is string was added. This allows bogus strings such as (res/foo/file) to be added, but the exception is caught and allows decoding to continues. Fixes #921.
Apktool
This is the repository for Apktool. If you are looking for the Apktool website. Click here.
It is a tool for reverse engineering 3rd party, closed, binary Android apps. It can decode resources to nearly original form and rebuild them after making some modifications; it makes possible to debug smali code step by step. Also it makes working with app easier because of project-like files structure and automation of some repetitive tasks like building apk, etc.
It is NOT intended for piracy and other non-legal uses. It could be used for localizing, adding some features or support for custom platforms and other GOOD purposes. Just try to be fair with authors of an app, that you use and probably like.
