[Soot-list] Regenerating Androidmanifest.xml file after Instrumenting Android

[Modhi Alsobiehy]

Hi Steven,


-- Thank you for your fast reply!

-- Something I forgot to mention, is it necessary to call:

 axmlh.getRoot().addChild(newAXmlNode);

because when I checked the new manifest, I found that the permission was added twice- I believe the first addition because of referencing the parent node-!!



-- This is the code I used after doing the required changes in the axmlhandler,

byte[] axmlBA = axmlh.toByteArray();





 

FileOutputStream fileOuputStream = new FileOutputStream(".\\AndroidManifest.xml"); 



fileOuputStream.write(axmlBA);



fileOuputStream.close();









 

List<File> fileList = new ArrayList<File>();



File newManifest = new File(".\\AndroidManifest.xml");



fileList.add(newManifest);





 

ApkHandler apkH = new ApkHandler(apk);



apkH.addFilesToApk(fileList);





and it is generating the following exception:


Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: could not rename the file D:\apks\location.apk to C:\Users\owner\AppData\Local\Temp\location.apk8599660687333204456.tmp

Thank you!

Hi Modhi,

 

I am glad to hear that your original problem has been resolved.

 

What do you mean by “no luck”? What exactly happens? What exactly are you trying (i.e. give me the code)?`

 

Best regards,

  Steven

Hi Modhi,

 

I cannot reproduce your problem with the newest version of FlowDroid. I have fixed some issues with the XML manipulation classes over the last week, so please try again. This is my code:

 

             AXmlNode newAXmlNode = new AXmlNode("uses-permission", null, axmlh.getRoot());

             newAXmlNode.addAttribute(new AXmlAttribute<String>("name", "android.permission.READ_LOGS",

                           "http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"));

             axmlh.getRoot().addChild(newAXmlNode);

 

Make sure to get the namespace right, that was wrong in your code.

 

Best regards,

  Steven

Hi Steven,


I'm getting the following exception from the line calling toByteArray() and I couldn’t figure out how to fix it or what I have done wrong!!


Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.String cannot be cast to java.lang.Integer

at pxb.android.axml.AxmlWriter$NodeImpl.write(AxmlWriter.java:238)

at pxb.android.axml.AxmlWriter$NodeImpl.write(AxmlWriter.java:254)

at pxb.android.axml.AxmlWriter.toByteArray(AxmlWriter.java:388)

at soot.jimple.infoflow.android.axml.AXmlHandler.toByteArray(Unknown Source)


this is the code responsible for a regenerating the manifest file, the axmlhandler instance is updated with the new axmlnode 


 


File apkFile = new File(apk);

ProcessManifest pm = new ProcessManifest(apkFile);

AXmlHandler axmlh = pm.getAXml(); 

AXmlNode newAXmlNode = new AXmlNode("uses-permission", null, axmlh.getRoot());

newAXmlNode.addAttribute(new AXmlAttribute("name", "android.permission.READ_LOGS", null));

AXmlNode temp = axmlh.getRoot().addChild(newAXmlNode);

byte[] axmlBA = axmlh.toByteArray();

FileOutputStream fileOuputStream = new FileOutputStream(".\\AndroidManifest.xml"); 

fileOuputStream.write(axmlBA);

fileOuputStream.close();


 Thank you,,


Modhi
