I have got many warnings from unpacking to signing the apk, and finally it results in no such file or directory.... Please anyone help me with this, tried the available solutions but the error is not changing

[mateofumis]

I've had the same problem.

The solution that worked for me in Kali Linux:

Use Docker image "andrewmackrodt/objection"

docker run --rm -it -v "$PWD:/data" -w /data andrewmackrodt/objection \
  -- \
  patchapk -s MyApp.apk -a arm64-v8a
