I want to edit an APK file, for this purpose I use the following command in Linux (Kali):

apktool d ed28.apk

and result is:

 I: Using Apktool 2.6.1-dirty on ed28.apk I: Loading resource table...
 I: Decoding AndroidManifest.xml with resources... I: Loading resource
 table from file: /home/mahdi/.local/share/apktool/framework/1.apk I:
 Regular manifest package... I: Decoding file-resources... I: Decoding
values */* XMLs... I: Baksmaling classes.dex... I: Copying assets and
 libs... I: Copying unknown files... I: Copying original files...

After editing one of the smalli files, i want to recompile it again, so i used this command:

apktool b -d -f ed28

but i get this error:

I: Using Apktool 2.6.1-dirty I: Smaling smali folder into classes.dex... ed28/AndroidManifest.xml.orig: Operation not permitted

I tried this too and the result was the same

apktool b -d -f ed28 --use-aapt2

git test

have you tried sudo or run this command under admin privileges? – Alexander Sobetskiy Sep 13 '22 at 02:32
Also, if you only need to make changes in smalli have a look at "-r, --no-res" cmd options – Alexander Sobetskiy Sep 13 '22 at 02:43
