Had the same with some apks. Not related to the patcher. Should compile and install ok.

Yes, the 2.7.3b-patched OpenTable.apk installed and ran ok, as far as I could discern.
I repatched using v2.6, which did not emit any warnings. Opening both patched apks with WinZip, I see a major content difference: folder jsr305_annotations is absent from the 2.7.3b-patched apk. (That may be insignificant, but I don't know.)
Z10STL100-3/10.2.1.2141

Addendum:
Similar warnings (see below) when I patched Uber v2.7.14 with 2.7.3b. (Will drop back to v2.6 patcher for now.)

Update:
Patching Uber v2.7.14 with v2.6, I get the same warnings as when I patched with v2.7.3.

[flacrack]

I ran Version 2.6 without issue. I downloaded Version 2.7.3, put it in a copy of the 2.6 set of files and the bat file just opens quickly and closes. I also put a copy in the 2.6 version directory with the same result. Is something missing? Anything else change, as to configuration required between 2.6 and 2.7.3? Ver 2.6 still works fine for me. Thx!

If you downloaded only the v2.7.3b patch.bat file, I think you should put it into the v2.7.3 configuration.

[flacrack]

@eywong The zip file only had the 2.7.3 patch.bat in it. Where is the entire configuration? I assumed since it was the only file in the archive, the rest would be the same.

Oh, and BTW, why patch OpenTable when the BB World Version is works well and was just updated last week or so.

Download the entire v.2.7.3 configuration first, then put the 2.7.3b patch.bat in it.

why patch OpenTable when the BB World Version is works well and was just updated last week or so.

I run whichever app is the latest software. In the case of OpenTable, I think Android is now the latest. It seems to me that Android apps are updated frequently and then they are ported to BB World at some later date, if at all.

Recent OpenTable releases:
Android v3.4.1.203, released Mar. 5
BBW v2.0.0.5, released Feb. 26

One suggestion. I was having all kinds of issues until I renamed my apk files to something more simple. I was trying to patch my Geocaching app. The original file name was "Geocaching v3.3.1.apk". I renamed it to "Geocachingv331.apk" and it worked just fine. I can't believe it took me so long to figure it out. When it comes to Windows CMD, the simpler the file names, the better!

[flacrack]

No spaces, I think.

[JCMM]

can you tell me why the pokerstars app don't work even applying this patch?

[partizan666]

Dearest patch gurus, can you please help me patch this app, it is a smart watch locator for kids (I use it for my son's Filip watch)?

App is called Evado Filip, sorry have no access to apk now.

Thank you in advance!

[heading4tomorrow]

For the brave testers we have a new version 2.6

Changelog:

• New: uses APKTool 2.0.0 Beta 9 (this may fix some problems with recompiling resources)
• New: uses pre-detection before patching, so no more error messages about obfuscated files
• Fix: reworked Autodetect patching mode (infamous a.smali bug)

The Bug is Dead, Long Live the Bugs!

Update:
1) Thank you so much. Yelp with MAP works very well now, finally can see the map! and I got a pre-patched version of Groupon that previously would not run to run.
2) Do you know if there is any development of something similar to Xposed for Blackberry?
3) Why isn't this topic more popular, why isn't there a hall of fame on this site to get these extremely useful topics listed there?

Here it is. Copy both apks from archive to your device and install them. Not tested though. Good luck and enjoy

No idea yet. Patched ok but closes immediately after launch. Not sure is something manageable. Ugly...

This is a apktool bug coming from Exception in thread "main" org.jf.dexlib.Util.ExceptionWithContext: method index is too large.. There are too many files in framework.jar,and the apktool can't process it.
Out of luck for now...

2) Do you know if there is any development of something similar to Xposed for Blackberry?

I don't know if this is what you need, but have you seen Sachesi? Regards.

[carbon98accord]

Could the failed patching be because of an updated Google Play Services? I feel like ever since the Google Play Services update came out (I can see the update available on Snap, which I did not download yet) all the new updates for the apps I've patched do not work.

ie:
Uber 2.7.14
Yelp 5.4.0

coincidence?

Thanks a lot Christian, so no way by now to have Car2Go app working on our BB... Will wait for a new version of apktool hoping that this issue will be solved.

Wow, thank you! the app no longer force closes and actually goes to the map screen but does not actually pull any map visuals, just blank map screen. What does it mean?

I have both of these working just fine. Though yelp's location finding sucks unless google maps is open in the background
