This is because of your dependency on:

compile 'com.klinkerapps:android-chips:1.0.1@aar'

In that AAR's resources they define the style resource named RecipientEditTextView incorrectly:

<style name="RecipientEditTextView" parent="@android:attr/autoCompleteTextViewStyle">

As AAPT2 is saying, a style needs a style resource for its parent, you cannot use an attr.

Contact the owner of that AAR or change to a library that doesn't have this mistake in it.

It tells you exactly what's wrong.

attr is an invalid resource type for style.

Double click the error and it will bring you to the line that is incorrect.
