Android build broken after gradle dependencies update: Execution failed for task ':processDebugResources'. > com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: Failed to execute aapt

Hello :slight_smile:

I have been working on this kind of error for days :disappointed_relieved:

The problem was the coexistence of cordova-plugin-crosswalk-webview and phonegap-plugin-push. They were using different versions of the com.android.support:support library (and it looks like the last release of android.support library breaks cordova builds).

I know that crosswalk webview is no longer maintained but it’s doing the job for now and I don’t want to remove it.

So I have updated my android studio and I have added cordova-android-support-gradle-release in my project (it chooses the right android support version for you :sunglasses:).

Now I am able to build releases like a charm :slight_smile:

I didn’t manage to build with cordova-android@6.4.0 (flavor issue, see this post to get ride of it : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47413647/ionic-android-build-error-all-flavors-must-now-belong-to-a-named-flavor-dimen)

I hope that will help some people !
