@ghost Can you please describe a bit more what can not be opened. You have provided two links to github projects. I assume you are referring to one of their release, but which file inside their release ZIP? Also what does Protective and release mean? Can the one be opened by jadx and the other not - or both do not work?

I think they meant Protector instead of Protective, and release is the linked repository's release that was processed by the Protector.

@ghost If you have such a protected APK please rename it to .zip and attach it to this issue. Then we can see what problems it causes in Jadx.

I've investigated this packer a bit in the past and it should be easy to unpack. The github project linked by the OP does not appear to be packed using dpt-shell, so not sure if he gave a wrong link.

This issue has an attachment with an example APK: rednaga/APKiD#402.
