We ran into the same issue, and have been able to find the root cause: The error message means that Gradle cannot connect to some worker processes. In our case, the process was for 'aapt2'. Running 'ldd aapt2' indicated that some shared libraries were missing (mainly GLIBC). Since we're using Docker based on Alpine Linux, it comes with a reduced GLIBC (glibc-musl). The solution was to simply install glibc in the Docker container.

I suggest you run ldd build-tools/{version}/aapt2 to see which libraries are missing from the OS. You did not mention your OS, are you also using Docker and AlpineLinux ?
