Hello samah,

I could successfully instrument your APK using our current Ranorex version (4.1.2).
In our current version, we added support for Android apps containing custom resources (see Release Notes).
Please update to Ranorex 4.1.2 which can be downloaded from our archive.

Thank you.

Regards,
Markus (T)

This issue can be fixed by replacing the apktool.jar from C:\Program Files (x86)\Ranorex 5.2\Bin\RxEnv\Android\tools\apkTool with http://connortumbleson.com/2014/10/05/a ... -released/
