res meta Corrupted:

Error message

res meta Corrupted:

What it means

ShareResPatchInfo.parseResPatchInfoFirstLine splits the first line of res_meta.txt and requires it non-empty. An empty first line (after split) throws TinkerRuntimeException("res meta Corrupted:" + meta). Additionally the code then indexes kv[1] and kv[2] without length checks, so malformed lines surface as AIOOBE right after. Either way the resource patch meta is not in the expected 'dir,arscCrc,resArscMd5' format.

Solutions

1. Match the gradle plugin and loader versions and rebuild the patch.
2. Never edit files inside the produced patch package.
3. Pre-validate the meta line: non-empty and split(',').length >= 3 before calling.
4. Catch TinkerRuntimeException during patch load and reject the package as corrupted.

Example fix

// before
String firstLine = lines[0];
// after
String firstLine = lines[0];
if (firstLine == null || firstLine.trim().isEmpty() || firstLine.split(",").length < 3) {
    throw new TinkerRuntimeException("res meta Corrupted:" + meta);
}

String firstLine = meta.split("\n")[0];
if (firstLine == null || firstLine.trim().isEmpty() || firstLine.split(",", -1).length < 3) {
    // reject resource patch before parseResPatchInfoFirstLine
}

try {
    ShareResPatchInfo.parseResPatchInfoFirstLine(meta, info);
} catch (TinkerRuntimeException | ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException e) {
    // corrupted res meta: reject patch package
}

When it happens

Trigger: parseResPatchInfoFirstLine(meta, info) with a meta whose first line is empty, whitespace, or has fewer than 3 comma-separated fields.

Common situations: Patch built by a mismatched plugin/loader version; edited or corrupted res_meta.txt; a patch containing only resource changes produced by a nonstandard pipeline.
