AAPT error: resource drawable/… not found

Question

After recently upgrading my android studio, I am not able to build my project anymore.

Every time I execute a build, I am struck with the following error:

Answer 1

In my case I had deleted the folder "drawable"

Answer 2

In my case I had to remove android:src="@drawable/background" and android:src="@drawable/logo" lines from splash_screen.xml although the error was originally pointing at AndroidManifest.xml.

And like the first post is saying, make sure the <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> is correct in all xml files.
