Answer 1

I had a similar experience with the newest gradle 4.1.3 . It is ALSO broken.

Tried 4.0.0 and everything worked fine, then saw this post so I tried 4.0.2 as mentioned by @Nicolas Alberto in the previous answer. But the (working) compile with 4.0.0 gives me a deprecation warning:

"Deprecated Gradle features were used in this build, making it incompatible with Gradle 7.0."

Obviously, this is intolerable, but if you use 4.0.0, maybe your error will be solved, like mine did.

Answer 2

Apparently there must be some bug in windows or with the processor gradle 4.1.1 or 4.1.0 does not work and generates the error aapt2. As soon as I changed the version of gradle to 4.0.2 it worked perfectly.
