Hi everyone,
I've recently ventured into the world of Android modding and am currently working on modding the game Marvel Contest of Champions. However, I've run into a challenge—every site I visit only offers the game as an XAPK file, not an APK. I downloaded the XAPK from APKPure, installed the unmodded APK on BlueStacks, and it works fine.
but when i decompile and recompile the apk without altering the code i get an error when installing the apk (Application can not be installed)

What I've Tried So Far
I'm still learning the basics of decompiling and recompiling APKs without altering the code. Here’s a summary of what I’ve attempted, though none of these methods have worked:- Changing the XAPK Extension: I changed the XAPK extension to .zip, extracted the contents, and then re-archived the files in the same order without making any changes. However, the APK failed to install.
- Using APKEditor Tool and APKTool: I used the APKEditor tool to convert the extracted XAPK into an APK, but the installation failed with a "Certification Verification Failed" error. I then tried signing the APK with APKTool, but the installation still didn’t succeed.
- Converting XAPK to APK with APKTool: I tried converting the XAPK directly to an APK using APKTool, but encountered a "Title Not Found" error.
