I haven't got any invitation yet and I guess it shouldn't be necessary.
Now I get the following error message:

remote: error: insufficient permission for adding an object to
repository database ./objects
remote: fatal: failed to write object

Perhaps some manual changes for user/group ownership might be required here?

This is clearly an upstream bug. I intend to file a bug report for
apktool. They should either replace the non-free class with a free one
or find another solution. Is the free replacement a real drop-in
replacement? Then I could try to use this class. Otherwise I have to
disable the functionality for now.
