com.android.builder.internal.aapt.v2.Aapt2Exception: Android resource linking failed: error: failed linking references

I am running into below error from aapt2:

My enviroment is as below: 

android {
    compileSdkVersion 28
    buildToolsVersion '28.0.3'

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.arophix.example"
        minSdkVersion 19
        targetSdkVersion 28

        versionCode 0
        versionName "1.0"
    }

    buildTypes {
        debug {
            minifyEnabled true
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt')
        }
        release {
            minifyEnabled true
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt')
        }
    }

    ...
}

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:28.0.0'
    implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    ...
}

Error is as below:

Removing the buildToolsVersion did not work for me but updating my SDK tool helped me to solve the problem. First, update Android Update Build tools then change buildToolVersion to the latest one... Hope this fixes your problem.
