Smali compilation failed on macOS

[skeltavik]

I got an error stating that the smali compilation procedure is failing. Any idea what can be the problem?

I'm running this on macOS 10.14 Mojave

Thanks for the report.

What version of smali / baksmali do you have on your path?

What version of dex-oracle are you using? Is it from master?

Hello, I got the same error.
I have smali/baksmali version 2.2.4, in my path.
I am using dex-oracle version 1.0.5 installed via gem install dex-oracle.

[CalebFenton]

@hynekdav thanks for the info. I think I just need to update the published gem from what's on master. Could you test with master as a confirmation?

I think it's the new versions of smali / baksmali require subcommands (assemble, disassemble) and maybe 1.0.5 dex-oracle doesn't know that.

@CalebFenton it works just fine bundled from master.

Have same problem.

Installed step-by-step from readme and got this error. Any updates?

[CalebFenton]

Try from master?

[ddzobov]

Built gem from master - no difference 😔

What's the exact error you're getting?
