Upgraded to Android studio 3.4 - Aapt2InternalException: AAPT2: Daemon startup failed

Question

I got Error in new project while build after i upgraded Android studio to 3.4

Caused by: org.gradle.api.tasks.TaskExecutionException: Execution failed

Answer 1

When building on Jenkins, if GRADLE_USER_HOME is not specified, it will try to dump the Gradle cache in System32 folder which causes this issue. Changing to a different directory via System Environment variable resolves the issue.
