I am trying to use Objection with android app, and every time I try to use patchapk rebuilding fails with the following error:
Rebuilding the APK may have failed. Read the following output to determine if apktool actually had an error:
W: aapt: brut.common.BrutException: brut.common.BrutException: Could not extract resource: /prebuilt/linux/aapt_64 (defaulting to $PATH binary)

Both aapt and apktool are installed and their location is in the PATH variable, both installed via apt. The distro I am using is a fresh install of Mint 21.3
I found my answer right after asking the question, so I am going to leave it if somebody has the same issue:
First, I found where the apktool is located with which apktool and then i replaced the apktool.jar there with the newest version from their website, and that seems to have fixed the issue.
