When rebuilding an apk, the list of default options presented by apklab are not valid for apktool 2.12.1 and valid options, included in the "Additional Apktool arguments" field, are apparently ignored since they don't get applied. I want to make my apk debuggable and the valid option to do this in apktool 2.12.1 is --debuggable, not --debug. When I add --debuggable to the options field it does not get applied and the resulting AndroidManifest.xml does not include android.debuggable="true". If I use the default option of --debug it appears to get used, based on the output (see below), but debuggable does not get added to the manifest (see below).
