Same issue with this old task. Is this tool still maintained? @iBotPeaches

Yes.

Same with mobile legends, they just applied same protection. I wonder if it’s related to Andresguard protection because i heard about it https://apkcombo.com/en-dk/mobile-legends-bang-bang/com.mobile.legends/download/apk

hope author will add this on his fix list. thank you
