go to ids.xml file

replace <item name="tag" type="id">tag</item> with <item name="tag" type="id"/>

if this tag <item name="tag" type="id">tag</item> is not exist, then mean that tag is inside the library you are using, so just add the tag <item name="tag" type="id"/> for override it from the library.

after you override that tag, you can find which library is using that tag by find usage , and fix that library.

Have been working through this problem all day, lots of head scratching.

What worked for me was going into the ids.xml, and removing all values between the item tags of "type=id"

For example:

<item type="id" name="icon">textToBeRemoved</item>

Goes to

<item type="id" name="icon"></item>

I hope this helps!
