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

[Modhi Alsobiehy]

Hi Steven,
Thanx a lot for your quick response!
Thanx to you, I am now able to read the manifest through the AXmlHandler but could not figure out how to remove or add permissions!
Would you please elaborate on that! I tried creating a new AXmlNode and called addSiblingBefore() to insert it but did not work!

Another question, after modifying the manifest, where i should find the regenerated AndroidManifest.XML file??

-Best,
Modhi
