I recently updated gradle and android studio to 3.6.1 version. but, it always fails to build apk file and show the following error:
* What went wrong: Execution failed for task ':app:mergeReleaseResources'. > Multiple task action failures occurred: > A failure occurred while executing com.android.build.gradle.internal.tasks.Workers$ActionFacade > AAPT2 aapt2-3.6.1-6040484-windows Daemon #4: Daemon startup failed Please check if you installed the Windows Universal C Runtime.

Various bug reports mention that installing Windows Universal C Runtime manually helps. See if that helps.
