Installed app quits immediately

[poldenais]

HI Joff,
@yoda66 the tutorial is brilliant. I managed to run through it all and I got the final app signed and tried to install it on a test device. it installs but just keeps quitting on startup.

So I tried it again using your script. Script runs great and the final.apk is created but same thing when I install the app, it starts then shuts down. This was a random app I took from apkmonk and I managed to run it initially without any work on it to be sure it ran ok.

Any ideas?
Thanks,
Pol

So there is definitely no guarantee of reliability.    I have seen apps that just crash when I do this also. Suggest you try and alternate app.

Sorry @yoda66 you are correct. I tried on the app in your Demo and it works fine. I have the whole lot running now but failing right the end where the listener is just sitting at:

reverse TCP handler on 0.0.0.0:4444

and doesn't seem to do anything else when the exploited app is opened.
