This just started happening to me, as well. It was working previously. Did you find a solution?

if you added any wrong file on wrong place in res folder of android then you will receive this error. i were added wrong file in my res folder thats why i were getting this error. so you need to check where you added wrong file

I checked and I haven’t added any other files to the res folder. Thanks for the tip though! I’ll keep trying to figure it out.

My issue was with the config.xml file. I used Phonegap Build previously and I was using gap:density for the android icon and splash screens. Changing this to just “density” fixed the above errors.
