- Add a --no-crunch/-nc flag to apktool which gets passed through to aapt - This allows apktool to make a byte-for-byte copy of resource files - refs: iBotPeaches#1232

Thanks for the pull-request. I'm not sure of a way to test this efficiently. I might run a little test locally with an image to detect modifications, otherwise I'll get this merged. |

Going to need to dig into this more. Original Rebuilt w/ It wiped the |

I've only tested with one apk, but my 9patch images seem to be rebuilt ok. I think it's not using aapt2 if that helps narrow it down. |

Sorry for the massive delay on this. So this was a bug in aapt2 that I think was related to this - https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/73456168 As this request is nearly 6 months old (Apologies for that). I pulled this change down again and all my tests locally (mac) are passing, so I just updated this project with the latest codebase. Going to let the CI run with latest code and dive in again. I think we just had to wait on AOSP for this. |

Adds a --no-crunch/-nc flag to apktool which gets passed through to aapt. This allows apktool to make a byte-for-byte copy of resource files which lowers the amount of changes when generating patches.
Happy to add tests if you can point me in the right direction - I'm not super familiar with the java ecosystem and I couldn't find any existing ones that included
aaptPackage.Also there was a feature request for this in #1232, which is already closed anyway.
