This is what happens when aapt fails to create an archive.

First make sure you are using the latest IDE and SDK. aapt for packaging is obsolete, and the earlier aapt2 has many bugs.

If they are up to date, try to check if the following processes on your computer have read/write access to the project directory.

  • [your android sdk path]\build-tools[your sdk version]\aapt.exe
  • [your android sdk path]\build-tools[your sdk version]\aapt2.exe
  • [your android studio path]\bin\studio64.exe
  • [your android studio path]\bin\fsnotifier64.exe
  • [your android studio path]\jre\bin\java.exe
  • [your android studio path]\jre\bin\javaw.exe

If you haven't set permissions manually, they are usually blocked by security software.
I recently ran into this problem and spent a lot of time finally found out that the security software on my workstation was not adding aapt2 and aapt to the allowed list for the project repository.
