Program seems to be attempting to create a path with a colon in it (besides the colon in 'e:\')

maybe it's better to ignore these problems and use WLS2 for apk-mitm?

Any updates to this issue? Also experiencing the same error with an app I'm trying to patch. Thanks!

Has apk-mitm been tested on WSL2 with an APK that has a colon in the name? I know the character colon is used as a delimiter for variables such as PATH separating a list of directories. I think you'd run into the exact same error regardless of Windows or Linux.

The last commit to main was 5 months ago and I didn't see a PR to fix the issue.

Don't think about it, check it on wls2 and send an error for the Linux environment
