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

Thanks yoojene, it worked form me!

Ah, finally (this must be the word most often used in this thread ) I got it running. Seems to have something to do with the android libs. In Android Studio I removed all API Levels but 26. Now it works like a charm

Ionic_Yuyang · November 2, 2017, 2:06am

Thanks a lot, I just update my android version to 6.3.0 then error solved.
Thank you very much!

Hi im still having that problem.

.../platforms/android/gradlew: Command failed with exit code 1 Error output:
ERROR: In <declare-styleable> FontFamilyFont, unable to find attribute android:fontVariationSettings
ERROR: In <declare-styleable> FontFamilyFont, unable to find attribute android:ttcIndex

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:

* Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.

is there any solution?

johnlacuna · March 7, 2018, 8:28pm

Similar for me but instead I have android 6.4.0:

.../values.xml:270: error: resource android:attr/fontVariationSettings not found.

I think it’s caused by another problem or plugin or android sdk component. Because if you guys check, the error message is different from the first problem.

Ok! Solving whit method JIgonzalez3

MichaelSvray · March 8, 2018, 1:21am

I got it working, my issue was in the cordova-plugin-file-opener2. Change ‘com.android.support:support-v4:+’ to ‘com.android.support:support-v4:23+’ in the plugin.xml for the cordova-plugin-file-opener2 in the plugins folder and the node_modules folder. Then do the same in the project.properties in platforms/android.

jrivera-chefsteps · March 8, 2018, 1:40am

Looks like a new version of android-support-v4 with breaking changes was released, v28, which cordova-android readily accepted. In order to prevent v28 from being used, I had to add this to our build.gradle.

configurations.all {
resolutionStrategy.force 'com.android.support:support-v4:24.0.0'
}

durablegravy · March 8, 2018, 2:05am

this got me past the font error but now i’m getting
Execution failed for task ‘:transformClassesWithDexForDebug’.

com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: com.android.dex.DexException: Multiple dex files define Landroid/support/v4/accessibilityservice/AccessibilityServiceInfoCompat;
did you encounter this error after your add to the build.gradle?

eadonis04 · March 8, 2018, 3:01am

It does not work, when reinstalling the missing plugins I failed. It has to do with what you mention. How do I do that part?

the plugin reinstall were:

cordova-plugin-file 5.0.0 "File"
cordova-plugin-file-opener2 2.0.19 "File Opener2"
cordova-plugin-filepath 1.0.2 “FilePath”

tifzz · March 8, 2018, 3:10am

i modified jrivera-chefsteps solution to use v26 and this solved it for me

configurations.all {
resolutionStrategy.force ‘com.android.support:support-v4:26.0.0’
}

durablegravy · March 8, 2018, 3:19am

actually just figured it out. i didnt use that i followed MichaelSvray’s method. updated my background-geolocation plugin.xml to com.android.support:support-v4:23+

eadonis04 · March 8, 2018, 4:03am

Definitely work, first test with Opener2 and then with Gradle.Build, test and it works.
