Arch Linux User Repository

I couldn't get the gradle8 AUR package to build, but using @kriskras99 solution worked for me:

diff --git a/PKGBUILD b/PKGBUILD

 build() {
   cd "Apktool-${pkgver}"
   export JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-${_jdkver}-openjdk"
-  gradle8 build --no-daemon shadowJar proguard
+  ./gradlew build --no-daemon shadowJar proguard
 }

 package() {

If we use ./gradlew instead of gradle8, then it would decrease the number of AUR dependencies required by one, and in addition it would reduce future build failures because we would use exactly the version of Gradle supported by upstream. Would this be an acceptable change?

can't build with jdk21-temurin package, I suspect line 19 is the culprit:

export JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-${_jdkver}-openjdk"

could you please just use the default jdk21 provided by the system? java-runtime=21 is already enforced by makedepends.

It looks exactly like @kriskras99 says, apktool is apparently not compatible with gradle 9 yet.

Just switching back to gradle 8 works fine:

 package() {

The build succeeds when replacing gradle with ./gradlew on line 20. The wrapper uses Gradle 8.7, so Apktool is most likely not compatible with Gradle 9.

Doesn't build, errors in code

* What went wrong:
Script compilation errors:

  Line 016:         rootProject.exec {
                                ^ Unresolved reference 'exec'.

  Line 017:             commandLine("git", "describe", "--tags")
                        ^ Unresolved reference 'commandLine'.

  Line 018:             standardOutput = stdout

  Line 029:         rootProject.exec {
                                ^ Unresolved reference 'exec'.

and the list goes on

@Popolon gradle is still in the extra repository

https://archlinux.org/packages/?q=gradle

Gradle package doesn't exists anymore, maybe it can be replaced by AUR gradle4?

Looks like classyshark (there is an AUR package) is replacing apktool, at least for analysis.

@rusball make sure to use git+pkgctl build or make sure to clean your AUR helper cache.

When i'm trying to install android-apktool from aur, it installs to me android-apktool-2.7.0-1
