[bug] Objection does not function on newer Android (and Play Services) versions due to outdated frida-java-bridge included in the Objection agent

[d235j]

Describe the bug
Objection does not function on recent Android and Google Play Services versions due to an ART (Android Runtime) update that breaks the shipped version of frida-java-bridge. This shipped version is v7.0.10, referenced from agent/package-lock.json. A newer version has been shipped which fixes this bug.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Attempt to use an Objection command such as android sslpinning disable.

Similar Issues
The upstream bug report is at frida/frida#3713. This has been fixed upstream, but is a bug in frida-java-bridge, not Frida itself. While frida-tools bundles a version of frida-java-bridge, it is separately included in the Objection agent, therefore merely updating the frida-tools that pip or a similar tool installs alongside Objection is insufficient.

Expected behavior
The command executes properly.

• Frida Version: 17.9.10
• Objection Version: 1.12.4

Application
Any application

Additional context
To fix this, do the following:
Upgrade the frida-java-bridge version to the latest (currently 7.0.13) by running npm upgrade frida-java-bridge from the agent subdirectory
Rebuild the agent as per the instructions.

I can confirm that this fixes the bug, and allows Objection to work with the latest Android and Play Services versions.
