Steps to Reproduce

1.Create a case sensitive file directory and copy base.apk in it. 2.Open PowerShell and run:

subst X: .
cd X:
./apktool d base.apk

If I don't use subst, apktool works fine.

But the scripts in my workflow are very complex, they require subst to work,I can't replace them.

./apktool b trigger the same issue.

Frameworks

This APK is not from an OEM ROM.

APK

If this APK can be freely shared, please upload/attach a link to it.

The base.apk is a private program,so I can't share it. But I have tried many APKs, and they all trigger this issue.

Questions to ask before submission

1. Have you tried apktool d, apktool b without changing anything? Yes, they all trigger this issue.
2. If you are trying to install a modified apk, did you resign it? No.
3. Are you using the latest apktool version? Yes.
