how to fix 23.0.1\aapt.exe'' finished with non-zero exit value 1

Question

All of a sudden I cannot get Gradle to build any projects under Android Studio.

Error:Execution failed for task \':app:processDebugResources\'. com

Answer 1

If someones is using react-native (and have updated it's version recently) and having this problem:

Quoting @chamchamgo:

I found the root cause is that old version's packager collect resources (image etc.) and put under $(rn_project)\android\app\src\main\res, while newer version put them under $(rn_project)\android\app\build\intermediates\res\merged\$(buildType). It brings duplication which leads to failure of task 'processReleaseResources'. And it also explains why new created project works well. When you have an old RN project upgrading to newer version, just delete directories like 'drawable-xxxx' (ATTN：no 'v?' postfix) under $(rn_project)\android\app\src\main\res and wolrd will be nice.

Answer 3

Change The buildToolsVersion To compileSdkVersion as Shown Below Code:...

Before: It Was Not Working....

android {
    compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion '22.0.1'
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId 'com.kdmsl.kraapp'
        minSdkVersion 14
        versionCode 3
        versionName "1.3"
        aaptOptions {
            additionalParameters "--no-version-vectors"
        }
    }

After Changes:

android {
    compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion '23.0.0'
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId 'com.kdmsl.kraapp'
        minSdkVersion 14
        versionCode 3
        versionName "1.3"
        aaptOptions {
            additionalParameters "--no-version-vectors"
        }
    }
