I've been stuck at this nasty error at least few times and every time I lost hours to find the exact cause. One possible reason could be something malformed in a menu XML. In example ifRoom is misspelled.

It is not detected by the XML editor. Nor it is reported as an error. Aapt just crashes without error message. Also be cautious about other kind of misspell mistakes in the menu XML. It seems the menu XML verification tool is not fully complete.
