Confirmed. I can replicate the issue. Thanks for following issue template and attaching sample application.

@iBotPeaches my bad. I was passing the wrong dir. But yes, it fails to build with both aapt1 and aapt2. Should I open another issue for that?

I would investigate those first, if those are warnings because aapt2 is more restrictive then probably not. If it appears that it should be working, then sure. We should investigate.

This will be fixed in v2.5.0
