APK crashes on (2.4.0, 2.3.4, 2.3.3, 2.3.2), works fine using 2.3.1

See original GitHub issue

Information

Apktool 2.4.0
Windows (x64)
APK from ApkMirror/Playstore/etc. (all produce the same issue)

Stacktrace/Logcat

E/MessageQueue-JNI(3648): Exception in MessageQueue callback: handleReceiveCallback
E/MessageQueue-JNI(3648): android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: File res/raw/voice_note_start.wav from drawable resource ID #0x7f0f000c
E/MessageQueue-JNI(3648): 	at android.content.res.Resources.openRawResourceFd(Resources.java:1315)
E/MessageQueue-JNI(3648): 	at android.media.SoundPool.load(SoundPool.java:245)

Steps to Reproduce

apktool d (with apktool 2.4.0)
apktool b (with apktool 2.4.0)
sign, install the apk.
Open the app and try to record a voice note.

Notes:

I tried building using apktool versions: 2.3.2, 2.3.3, 2.3.4. ALL produce the same crash
The strange thing is, using version 2.3.1 to build, the app works fine and doesn’t crash.

Frameworks

Apktool default.

@YoBasha Reverting that commit returns aapt1 to the process during the build of applications, which if you are using an aapt2 build is not feasible. We cannot revert that, so need to identify why Apktool is not moving files to correct location.

UPDATE 1

100% confirmed, the crash is caused by this commit a8bdad628a58e65313521b809d8df60f3f86d40e.

I have built 2.4.1 (snapshot) with reverting the above commit, and the app APK no longer crashes!

You can do the tests yourself. (@B88B can you confirm the fix?) apktool-cli-all-issue2036.zip

@iBotPeaches Any thoughts on why zipPackage() is causing this issue?
