0x02原理
主要是通过HEX修改resources.arsc DataType数据类型来促使apktool无法直接反编译资源文件，从而保护资源文件。
首先我们需要了解一下appt dump resources的基本格式。

resource<Resource ID> <Package Name>:<Type>/<Name>: t=<DataType> d=<Data> (s=<Size> r=<Res0>)
Resource ID R.java中的资源ID 
Package Name 资源所在的的包 
Type 资源的类型 
Name 资源名称 
DataType 数据类型,按照以下枚举类型取值 
Data 资源的值,根据dataType进行解释 
Size 一直为0x0008 
Res0 固定为0x00

通过aapt dump查看apk的资源aapt d --values resources test.apk

Package Groups (1)
Package Group 0 id=0x7f packageCount=1 name=com.example.myapp
  Package 0 id=0x7f name=com.example.myapp
    type 1 configCount=4 entryCount=1
      spec resource 0x7f020000 com.example.myapp:drawable/ic_launcher: flags=0x40000100
      config ldpi-v4:
        resource 0x7f020000 com.example.myapp:drawable/ic_launcher: t=0x03 d=0x00000001 (s=0x0008 r=0x00) (PUBLIC)
          (string8) "res/drawable-ldpi-v4/ic_launcher.png"
      config mdpi-v4:
        resource 0x7f020000 com.example.myapp:drawable/ic_launcher: t=0x03 d=0x00000002 (s=0x0008 r=0x00) (PUBLIC)
          (string8) "res/drawable-mdpi-v4/ic_launcher.png"
      config hdpi-v4:
        resource 0x7f020000 com.example.myapp:drawable/ic_launcher: t=0x03 d=0x00000003 (s=0x0008 r=0x00) (PUBLIC)
          (string8) "res/drawable-hdpi-v4/ic_launcher.png"
      config xhdpi-v4:
        resource 0x7f020000 com.example.myapp:drawable/ic_launcher: t=0x03 d=0x00000004 (s=0x0008 r=0x00) (PUBLIC)
          (string8) "res/drawable-xhdpi-v4/ic_launcher.png"
    type 2 configCount=1 entryCount=1
      spec resource 0x7f030000 com.example.myapp:layout/main: flags=0x40000000
      config (default):
        resource 0x7f030000 com.example.myapp:layout/main: t=0x03 d=0x00000000 (s=0x0008 r=0x00) (PUBLIC)
          (string8) "res/layout/main.xml"
    type 3 configCount=1 entryCount=2
      spec resource 0x7f040000 com.example.myapp:string/app_name: flags=0x40000000
      spec resource 0x7f040001 com.example.myapp:string/hex_test: flags=0x40000000
      config (default):
        resource 0x7f040000 com.example.myapp:string/app_name: t=0x03 d=0x00000005 (s=0x0008 r=0x00) (PUBLIC)
          (string8) "myapp"
        resource 0x7f040001 com.example.myapp:string/hex_test: t=0x03 d=0x00000006 (s=0x0008 r=0x00) (PUBLIC)
          (string8) "hex"

string/hex_test这个值在APP里面不起任何作用，专门用于修改保护资源使用，string值不要使用APP内部调用的资源，如果用正常使用的值修改后会无法正常使用
resource 0x7f040001 即 string/hex_test 的ID t=0x03 DataType数据类型 d=0x00000006 Data 资源值 s=0x0008 r=0x00 Size和Res0
下面就使用010Editor修改t=0x03 0x03修改为0x02或0x01都可以，我修改0x02
用010Editor打开resources.arsc
直接搜索0306000000(为什么这样，因为十六进制搜索需要反过来)

直接修改03为02保存，直接替换resources.arsc到apk中
0x03演示
使用apktool反编译进行测试apktool d -f test.apk
直接报错信息如下:

我使用的是最新版本apktool2.0.3版本，关键错误信息：Exception in thread "main" brut.androlib.err.UndefinedResObject: resource spec: 0x7f000006
0x04修复
手动修复这个错误，也就是根据上面的原理进行反推，看一下错误信息：Exception in thread "main" brut.androlib.err.UndefinedResObject: resource spec: 0x7f000006
首先使用aapt dump查看apk的资源aapt d --values resources test.apk
资源：

Package Groups (1)
Package Group 0 id=0x7f packageCount=1 name=com.example.myapp
  Package 0 id=0x7f name=com.example.myapp
    type 1 configCount=4 entryCount=1
      spec resource 0x7f020000 com.example.myapp:drawable/ic_launcher: flags=0x40000100
      config ldpi-v4:
        resource 0x7f020000 com.example.myapp:drawable/ic_launcher: t=0x03 d=0x00000001 (s=0x0008 r=0x00) (PUBLIC)

      config mdpi-v4:

          (string8) "res/drawable-mdpi-v4/ic_launcher.png"
      config hdpi-v4:
        resource 0x7f020000 com.example.myapp:drawable/ic_launcher: t=0x03 d=0x00000003 (s=0x0008 r=0x00) (PUBLIC)
          (string8) "res/drawable-hdpi-v4/ic_launcher.png"
      config xhdpi-v4:
        resource 0x7f020000 com.example.myapp:drawable/ic_launcher: t=0x03 d=0x00000004 (s=0x0008 r=0x00) (PUBLIC)
          (string8) "res/drawable-xhdpi-v4/ic_launcher.png"
    type 2 configCount=1 entryCount=1
      spec resource 0x7f030000 com.example.myapp:layout/main: flags=0x40000000
      config (default):
        resource 0x7f030000 com.example.myapp:layout/main: t=0x03 d=0x00000000 (s=0x0008 r=0x00) (PUBLIC)
          (string8) "res/layout/main.xml"
    type 3 configCount=1 entryCount=2
      spec resource 0x7f040000 com.example.myapp:string/app_name: flags=0x40000000
      spec resource 0x7f040001 com.example.myapp:string/hex_test: flags=0x40000000
      config (default):
        resource 0x7f040000 com.example.myapp:string/app_name: t=0x03 d=0x00000005 (s=0x0008 r=0x00) (PUBLIC)
          (string8) "myapp"
        resource 0x7f040001 com.example.myapp:string/hex_test: t=0x02 d=0x00000006 (s=0x0008 r=0x00) (PUBLIC)
          (attribute) 0x00000006

关键信息：(attribute) 0x00000006 报错 resource spec: 0x7f000006
使用010Editor打开resources.arsc直接搜索06000000

直接将DataType数据类型0x02修改为0x03 修改后保存，直接替换resources.arsc到apk中进行反编译测试apktool d -f test.apk
测试通过：

I: Using Apktool 2.0.3 on test.apk
I: Loading resource table...
I: Decoding AndroidManifest.xml with resources...
