No libsmali.jsonl entry for /com/shaded/fasterxml/jackson, this library will be ignored.

[sudo-joe]

Hello

tried to install Apktool 2.7.0 on LMint 20.3 but get the following error message:

mint@mint:/media/mint/BU/APK-Library-Scanner$ scanapk 446096481062076416.apk
No libsmali.jsonl entry for /com/shaded/fasterxml/jackson, this library will be ignored.

No offending libs found.

Question:
->No libsmali.jsonl entry for /com/shaded/fasterxml/jackson, this library will be ignored.
What am I doing wrong? How can this error message be prevented?

->No offending libs found.
This is very hardly possible because https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/de/reports/291329/
did found 8 Trackers......

Thank you very much for any help!
Joe

What happens when you just execute java -jar apktool.jar ? Not really following what all this wrapper stuff is.

This is no problem caused by Apktool. That message comes from my library scanner (scanapk) which @sudo-joe is using there. And it says exactly that: there's no details for /com/shaded/fasterxml/jackson in libsmali.jsonl. While that library was encountered in several APKs and has a record in libinfo.jsonl (you can look it up there), the corresponding entry pointing to the source (where can you find it) is missing as I wasn't able to find those yet.

{"id": "/com/shaded/fasterxml/jackson", "emphasize": 0, "details": "modules to process data encoded in Avro, BSON, CBOR, CSV, Smile, (Java) Properties, Protobuf, XML or YAML.", "mwid": "", "anti": []}

What am I doing wrong?

Nothing (apart from reporting it at the wrong place maybe; scanapk is part of this repo 😉).

How can this error message be prevented?

If someone can tell me where the sources of that library are, I can add it to libsmali.jsonl. Alternatively, if that message annoys you, you can simply remove the quoted line from libinfo.jsonl – or comment out this line in scanapk.php.

@iBotPeaches I'm not an Android dev, so I'm not sure if my assumption here is correct: does the /shaded/ part in the name point to a relocation using the Apache Maven Shade Plugin, and it would be safe to assign that entry to /com/fasterxml/jackson? And would that generally apply to this pattern (i.e. it's safe to assign the /shaded/ entries to their "parents")? Then I'd fix that accordingly with the next update.
