Having the same issue here. As pointed out by @Izabela Orlowska, this problem is most likely caused by special characters in path (android grandle files, resources etc..).

For me: having ří in folder name caused all the problems. Make sure you do not have any special characters in paths. Disabling AAPT2 is only a temporary "solution". Your project path contains non-ASCII characters android studio
