Failed to recompile the instrumented code
Posted: Thu Feb 07, 2019 2:39 pm
I am on a trial version and getting to know Ranorex Studio, but I've hit a wall while trying to recompile the application.
I'm using the Ranorex Instrumentation Wizard and the log that comes back with the error is the following:
Can someone please point out a workaround? I'm 100% sure that there are cases where people have successfully recompiled apps that have string-arrays as resources.
I'm using the Ranorex Instrumentation Wizard and the log that comes back with the error is the following:
I've done some research on the subject and found out that ApkTool (if I'm not mistaken, you're using this tool to decompile the app), has a bug where it is not properly decompiling string-arrays and marks them as styles. I have successfully managed to manually change the decompiled xml's and build them through ApkTool, but can't seem to figure out how to do that with Ranorex.System.Exception: Failed to recompile the instrumented code.
