Unable to recompile SystemUI.apk using apktoo

I have been using apktool 1.4.3 to decompile and recompile framework-res.apk without any problem.
However while I can decompile SystemUI.apk without problem, I cannot recompile it. The error is shown below.
I have done searching in this forum but still can't find the solution.
Please kindly help thanks.
Code:
C:\apktool>apktool b systemui.apk

Compiling SecSettingsProvider

I am currently working on creating a new rom for the Note 2 (XXDLL4 - 4.1.2) and I was trying to edit SecSettingsProvider.apk. While I could decompile it, apktool kept bringing up errors while compiling even when not even modifying the apk. On other system files it worked correctly so I'm wondering if there's a different process to use with this file ?
This is the error :

Is this the problem you pm'd me about or something new?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

Issue resolved it wasn't compiling properly because apktool.yml was missing.
