Awaiting approval on this workflow so I can proceed with further modifications in some files. Thank you! |

@k41ed, please have patience. There's likely about 50 people in the entire world who have permissions to merge this request. Of those, 10-20 likely aren't around or active any more. Of the remaining, not everyone is familiar with Android architecture, and the changes you've proposed. Of those remaining who work for rapid7, they'll also have to prioritize this request versus the others. I'd encourage you to give it a week or two, then ping again. Also, if it makes sense to combine this PR with some other changes, you may as well since it may be a while. @timwr if you're bored and still around, this may speak to you! |

Thank you all for the feedback and insights. I completely understand that the process involves many steps and the priority of tasks may vary. I appreciate the effort everyone is putting into the project, and I'm happy to give it some more time

I’ll work on fixing this as soon as possible |

Are there any instructions on how to test this change? My assumption would be to create a gem, then go over to the metasploit side, install the gem, then create an apk via msfvenom. Then install it to a newer android phone, and you'll no longer get the warnings that the apk was designed for an older version of android. Do you have any notes from how you tested it that differ from this? |

ITNOA Hi, Thanks to trying update android payload @k41ed @dledda-r7 Any plan to continue this PR in the near future? |
Yes, I will develop it and finish it soon, or create another tool to generate the payload for Android phones. |

@k41ed do you know why this is failing our build? Is this something you're working to fix? |
