[!] Failed to Decompile Normal/Legitimate APK

See this error, you have to remove the normal_apk directory, as the directory already exist, it failed to decompile the normal apk, due to which you get this error

Anyway, I am going to update the project, so that it delete the junk folder on each execution

Same problem for me

I think the program is unable to find the hooking path using default grep command from AndroidManifest.xml.

Due to which you are getting this error, I have done some minor modification, please try it now.

This time apkinfector will hopefully ask you the hook path (such as zl.com.river_iq.RiverIQ) if it unable to find it on its own
