Unable to compile shadowJar and other issues about apktool HOT 4 CLOSED

I dug into this - it appears the old old xmlpull library is violating spec for loaders, so R8 is stripping it out.

Warning in /home/ibotpeaches/Desktop/Projects/Java/Apktool/brut.apktool/apktool-cli/build/libs/apktool-cli.jar:META-INF/services/org.xmlpull.v1.XmlPullParserFactory:
Unexpected reference to missing service implementation class in META-INF/services/org.xmlpull.v1.XmlPullParserFactory: org.xmlpull.mxp1.MXParser,org.xmlpull.mxp1_serializer.MXSerializer.

So two classes comma delimited, but spec says it must be newline delimited. I was hoping I could just upgrade this package, but its been dead for a decade.

A service provider identifies itself by placing a provider-configuration file in the resource directory META-INF/services. The file's name should consist of the fully-qualified name of the abstract service class. The file should contain a newline-separated list of unique concrete provider-class names. Space and tab characters, as well as blank lines, are ignored. The comment character is '#' (0x23); on each line all characters following the first comment character are ignored. The file must be encoded in UTF-8.

Yeah R8 is having some issues and stripping way more than it should - blocker for 2.10.x at the moment.

Broke here for context, but I'm not reverting to force myself to fix it before a release - e69ecb5

Another thing I committed to Google's smali repo. Dudes used incompatible DEX version for Android 10...
