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.

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.

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.
