I'm having the following error whenever I try to build my application. I have checked that the image has the correct name and is a .png file. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
AAPT2 aapt2-4.1.2-6503028-windows Daemon #0: Unexpected error during compile 'C:\Users\troubleshoot\.gradle\caches\transforms-2\files-2.1\3fcc06d4568adad9f26d921b3ce0773c\jetified-play-services-base-17.1.0\res\drawable-xhdpi-v4\common_google_signin_btn_text_dark_normal_background.9.png', attempting to stop daemon

The aapt2 binary is only compatibale for amd64 but not for arm64/aarch64.
You can look for the aapt2 binary in ~/.gradle/caches and try replace it with this version: https://github.com/JonForShort/android-tools/tree/master/build/android-11.0.0_r33/aapt2/arm64-v8a/bin
That might work.
Here is a blogpost explaining how to do it:
https://linuxtut.com/en/ec63aa8bff5103982156/
OK, I am no expert at this, but I have encountered a similar problem and I fixed it by running
cordova run build
with my internet connectivity switched on. I think you need an internet connection to build cordova apps.
I am facing the issue below when I build my android project, I have tried invalidating caches and restarting android studio but it did not help - ;

When this occurs on Windows 10, be sure to first contact your security team. For this specific scenario, some components had been disabled/limited by the security team and this issue was resolved once I got in contact with them.
For Windows 8.1 and below, be sure to first check this answer as well.

Try following options:
clean & rebuild your project
Restart the android studio
Try Invalidate caches and restart
Delete C:\Users\{username}\.gradle\caches folder and restart Android
studio
Check and Update your android gradle plugin version
Also check your gradle.properties contain below line or not.

Spent weeks on and off with an AAPT2 error: no such file or directory
despite the file concerned being present and not malformed/corrupt (the underlying problem in all the solutions I found online)
I finally discovered that AAPT2 uses the mmap() C library call to map resources into memory for the merge process (AAPT did not.)
My projects were on a network share (SSHFS), which caused an mmap error the AAPT2 code was not expecting, resulting in the inaccurate error message.
The only solutions I could find were:
Don't use a network share (who needs networks right?)
Rewrite AAPT2 to not use mmap.
I have an android build in gradle. ANdroid gradle plugin 3.4.0, android build tools 28.0.3, compile SDK 24, open JDK 8 (ojdkbuild), gradle (wrapper) version 5.4.0. I am able to build and run my application fine on my dev machine, as well as on my TeamCity build agent machine, when running in a cmd prompt as my local user account. However, when TeamCity runs (SYSTEM account), or via a cmd.exe prompt opened as SYSTEM account, I fail with the below error.
I am guessing it's some kind of permission issue of some kind, but unfortunately, I'm not sure how to do a build. Android SDK is installed at C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk. Windows 7 VM.
I've tried downgrading the android gradle plugin, and various searches, but no luck yet.

while building the gradle is creating .gradle directory in the current user home directory.
Now go into "users" directory and try to search the home directory for the "SYSTEM" user.... (there is no one)
So, the simplest way - create a user and start service under this user.
Provide access to the building folder. Normally that should be enough to start gradle.
I'm dying trying to figure this out!
Essentially, I've finished up an Ionic app and am ready to publish it to the Google Play Store. The problem is that I'm having trouble following the directions posted on the Ionic Framework website.
So far, I've created an 'android' folder under 'platforms'.

This problem might be caused by incorrect configuration of the daemon.
For example, an unrecognized jvm option is used.

My various attempts:
Firstly, that I cannot seem to find the 'build' folder referenced at 'platforms/android/build/outputs/apk'. It simply does not exist.
Having recognised that I'm lacking the 'build' folder, I attempted to change the environment variables according to this website: http://www.tiagoporto.com/blog/environment-setting-tutorial-ionic-android-on-windows/. This did not work.
I followed the directions given on various SoF Q&As, and manually downloaded the needed gradle, called "gradle-2.2.1-all.zip". Still did not work.
I am at my wits ends. Please please please help!
