Decompiling apk using apktool

Question

I need to decompile & recompile an apk on windows... I am following this link Reverse Engineer APK

The issue is I can't find the file that makes requests (refer to above link)"Find the file that makes requests grep -r "RequestUtil.java" " I tried using WindowsGrep software, but unable to find such file.

I don't know if I am on the wrong track. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

Answer 1

After decompiling apk, change directory to the com.instagram.android/smali: cd com.instagram.android/smali

Search RequestUtil.java by Windows search or following command in command prompt: dir /s *RequestUtil.java*

If the RequestUtil.java not found, it does not exists! Make sure you decompile the correct version of apk.
