This is intentional but I must admit I don't like it too. Normally
apktool copies the framework files to this directory or, if it is not
available, to java.io.tmpdir. We probably could change that to
~/.apktool or ~/.local/share/apktool. Thoughts?

However before you can decode apk files you need to install those
framework files.

Question to team members:

Are they included in src:android-platform-frameworks-base or can we make
them available somehow?

The original apktool.jar embeds framework-res.apk from the Android Open
Source Project but they are not part of apktool's sources.
