Answer 1

For my case, add aapt.exe/aapt2.exe to the Encrypting Software whitelist

Answer 2

for my case i deleted the ids.xml file (it was useless in the project)

Answer 3

problem solved

It is because my company's PC has a Encrypting Softwarehttp://www.wowostar.com,it encrypt all files which were created when building.

Need find the process name when building, and add to the Encrypting Software's whitelist.
