Do you mean this may also be caused by a broken aapt tool?
Sure. The Android tools have had plenty of bugs, historically, and there's no reason to assume that aapt dump badging
is somehow perfect. In fact, your very issue has already been filed as a bug. So, unless you are also seeing some problem in your app's execution that might be tied in here, I'd assume that aapt dump badging
is the item with the issue, not necessarily your app.
If you have not yet updated to the R22 tools, you might do so, to see if this bug has been fixed and they simply have not closed the issue. If you are on the R22 tools, you might add a comment to that issue, pointing this out, and include a link to this SO question, so the tools team has another data point in terms of the problem.
