Android aapt can not be found on Mac

I am getting the following error when trying to compile my android project in IntelliJ (v11.1) on MacOSX.

I/O error: Cannot run program "/%PATH_TO_SDK%/android-sdk-macosx/platforms
/android-16/tools/aapt": error=2, No such file or directory

Some places say it is saying I might be using a 64 bit version of the libraries when I need 32 bit but everyone experiencing that problem is using Ubuntu so the solutions I have found are only suited to that.

The weird thing is, it worked this morning when I only had android-16 installed, but after I downloaded the other versions it stopped.

Any help would be appreciated. Can provide more info if needed.

Since I forgot "aapt" location, I print it once in bash_profile and every time I check the content of this file:

vim ~/.bash_profile

On MacOS with default Android installation, the current aapt location is inside specific build-tools version. For build-tools 28.0.3, you will find it in the following path:

/Users/userName/Library/Android/sdk/build-tools/28.0.3

Remember to change userName to your username in MacOS.
