Same issue here

@Hyperkopite , I solved the issue by downgrading the Frida to version 16.7.x something. Because of the API changes in Frida version 17, the brida is not compatible anymore.

Hi @MyatThu13 and @Hyperkopite. Thanks for pointing the issue out. I will look at it in these days.

Hi @MyatThu13 and @Hyperkopite,

I just released a new version of Brida (0.6) compatible with last frida version. It required a major refactoring in the JS code, due to the many updates of frida 17.

Please let me know if the new version fix your issues.
