## Automatic Remapping of ResourceId
|
|
|
|
|
We currently prevent resourceIds from changing, by utilizing the `public.xml` file which makes the resources public, but
|
|
|
|
|
then prevents them to be used in some locations (`android:scheme`). The correct fix would be to record the resourceIds
|
|
|
|
|
and use dexlib2 (no regular expressions) to rewrite them to the new resourceId after the `resources.arsc` is built.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This would be a lookup table of old->new resourceIds leveraging the API of dexlib2 to do the replacement. Doing this
|
|
|
|
|
properly would nullify the need to do [#191](https://github.com/iBotPeaches/Apktool/issues/191)

## Implicit Qualifiers Cleanup
|
|
|
|
|
Currently we have a mismatch between reading the folders and reading the qualifiers which leads to a mismatch between
|
|
|
|
|
implicit qualifiers like version (-v4, v13, etc).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This was first spotted in bug [#1272](https://github.com/iBotPeaches/Apktool/issues/1272).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This was attempted to be fixed in [!1758](https://github.com/iBotPeaches/Apktool/pull/1758/files), but had to be
|
|
|
|
|
reverted due to [this](https://github.com/iBotPeaches/Apktool/issues/1272#issuecomment-379345005).

## Qualifier Plugin System
|
|
|
|
|
For some OEMs, past and present. They re-use qualifiers that AOSP ends up using. This with CTS is becoming very
|
|
|
|
|
rare and pretty much a problem of the past, but now custom modifications and more "off the cuff" OEMs are doing
|
|
|
|
|
it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Apktool can't do anything because it stays true to AOSP. It would need a plugin system that controls how to
|
|
|
|
|
read the qualifiers. Or even an override file.

## Library System
|
|
|
|
|
May like using Apktool outside of the cli tool. We should make it easier to consume, whether via
|
|
|
|
|
maven, jitpack, etc.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Additionally, some documentation on how to do this.

## Non-reference Resources
|
|
|
|
|
Some applications may shove resources into the /res folder, but have no references to them. Apktool follows
|
|
|
|
|
the resource table, so these files are effectively abandoned.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Crawling the filesystem for non-checked files would be slow especially having to cross check with already
|
|
|
|
|
parsed files.
