Can you provide the app you had loaded or at least tell us if you had loaded one APK file, or multiple APK files (split APK app)?

Does that mean you had compiled that Android project, then loaded the APK into Jadx-GUI and finally used the "Save as gradle project" which triggered the error you have posted?

No, I just pasted the source code into jadx.

Jadx is a decompiler. Loading source code instead of binary APKs or JAR files into it is in my opinion a bit out of scope. Therefore you are getting this error.

Alright, but if you had also added this feature, it would have been better.
