[Android-tools-devel] Bug#827264: aapt package aborts with exit code 134

[Chirayu Desai]

Package: aapt
Version: 1:6.0.1+r43-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainers,

I'm trying to use aapt to package an android app, but it fails to do so.
I've tried this by running 'gradle build' with a sample app I have at [1],
and also with 'apktool' by running 'apktool build'

'gradle build --debug' output:
17:17:15.754 [ERROR] [org.gradle.BuildExceptionReporter] * What went wrong:
17:17:15.754 [ERROR] [org.gradle.BuildExceptionReporter] Execution failed for task ':processDebugResources'.
17:17:15.754 [ERROR] [org.gradle.BuildExceptionReporter] > com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: org.gradle.process.internal.ExecException: Process 'command '/usr/lib/android-sdk/build-tools/23.0.2/aapt'' finished with non-zero exit value 134

Running 'gradle build --stacktrace' gives the aapt command used, which is:
/usr/lib/android-sdk/build-tools/23.0.2/aapt package -f --no-crunch -I /usr/lib/android-sdk/platforms/android-23/android.jar -M /mnt/debian/apps/HelloWorld/build/intermediates/manifests/full/debug/AndroidManifest.xml -S /mnt/debian/apps/HelloWorld/build/intermediates/res/merged/debug -A /mnt/debian/apps/HelloWorld/build/intermediates/assets/debug -m -J /mnt/debian/apps/HelloWorld/build/generated/source/r/debug -F /mnt/debian/apps/HelloWorld/build/intermediates/res/resources-debug.ap_ --debug-mode --custom-package org.hello -0 apk --no-version-vectors

Running that manually results in:
$ aapt ...
Aborted

Running it with 'strace' shows:
< initial output: http://ix.io/SAr>
open("/mnt/debian/apps/HelloWorld/build/intermediates/manifests/full/debug/AndroidManifest.xml", O_RDONLY) = 4
read(4, "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"ut"..., 16384) = 618
close(4)                                = 0
rt_sigprocmask(SIG_UNBLOCK, [ABRT], NULL, 8) = 0
tgkill(1970, 1970, SIGABRT)             = 0
--- SIGABRT {si_signo=SIGABRT, si_code=SI_TKILL, si_pid=1970, si_uid=1000} ---
+++ killed by SIGABRT +++

This bug affects the packages 'android-sdk' as well as 'apktool', as neither will be able to be fully used due to this.
