Hi!
I've got the error:

How I can fix this?

Thanks!

Looks like this is a specific bug in apk-tool & APK bundles: iBotPeaches/Apktool#2756

Does anyone know how to bypass this issue manually?

This was a good start. I also had to remove the locales_config entry from decode/res/values/public.xml, and I deleted decode/res/xml/locales_config.xml just in case.

Use the latest version of apktool

I suggest you download the latest version of apktool and set the correct JAR path, e.g.:

apk-mitm myfile.xapk --apktool /home/[...]/apktool_2.8.1.jar       # Linux
apk-mitm myfile.xapk --apktool C:\Users\[...]\apktool_2.8.1.jar    # Windows

Please note: the path must be absolute, not relative.
