Environment

Release : SAAS

Component : CA APP EXPERIENCE ANALYTICS SAAS

Resolution

In this situation, "ERROR:Resources Packaging Failed” is not an issue. It could not instrument the ‘xml’ files, so we just have to ignore the resources which the wrapping process will do automatically ( Retrying Wrapping with nores Option)

While wrapping the APK, we wrap the source code and resource files( xml files), the tool which we are using to wrap the SDK would face some issues while wrapping the resources, for that we just need to ignore the resources. Use the ‘-r’ flag while wrapping the APK which ignores the resources. Please find the command below.

./wrap.sh -a <apk path> -p <plist path> -r

As part of wrapping process, we decompile the APK file using apktool, which decompiles the source and resources(resources.arsc) files. Sometimes the apktool has challenges decompiling the resources.arsc properly for some apks.  In those cases,  the error message will be shown.

CA_MAA_SDK will not instrument with resource files, it just instruments the Java files and packages the apk file.  So ignoring resources will not have any effect on data collection.
