CommandInvokationFailure error when building APK?

Question

I'm getting the following error when I build my APK:

CommandInvokationFailure: Failed to re-package resources. See the Console for details.
    C:\Users\Me\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\build-tools\24.0.0\aapt.exe package --auto-add-overlay -v -f -m -J gen -M AndroidManifest.xml -S "res" -I "C:/Users/Me/AppData/Local/Android/sdk\platforms\android-24\android.jar" -F bin/resources.ap_ --extra-packages

I wish to integrate "Leaderboards" in my app using Google Play Services. What should I do to fix this?

What I've tried:

Reinstalling the Google Play Services plugin.
Updating SDK: See here. (tell me if I did it properly).
Made sure I have latest versions of "Extras/Android Support Repository" and "Extras/Google Repository".
Installed everything in SDK Manager. See here.
Updating Unity.
Restarting.
Few minor changes.

@UmairM I saw these websites before and they didn't offer me a solution. — Dinovr, Jun 28 '16 at 12:50
Can't believe you just installed everything. You will run out of space very soon. I have a possible solution. Is this solved yet? — Programmer, Jun 30 '16 at 13:15
Ok. You have never accpeted any answer even if most in your questions are very helpful and likely solved your problem. This is how to accept answer: http://i.stack.imgur.com/LkiIZ.png Check back your question and see which ones solved your problem then tick them. Let me know after you do this. — Programmer, Jun 30 '16 at 14:00
@Programmer Thanks for the reminder. I've now accepted 2 answers. My other questions remain unsolved. — Dinovr, Jun 30 '16 at 17:10
Nice.Update your question with the version of Unity you are using and the **Minimum API Level** it is set to. Also, mention what Android version your Android device is running. Before I put my answer. Please create a new project then try to **build** it in Android. Not** Build and Run**. Just **Build** it and tell me if you were successful in building it. — Programmer, Jun 30 '16 at 17:33
@Programmer Hi. I'm writing this from my second account because my main account got suspended (7 days) for voting irregularities. Here we go: I'm currently using **Unity 5.3.5f1**. I have tried downgrading to 5.3.4f1, 5.3.3f1 and 5.3.2f1 but this didn't solve the problem. I have tried to change the minimum API level to recent versions and that didn't solve the problem either. Currently, my API level is set to API level 9. I have created a new project and tried to build the APK and the same error pops up. — , Jul 01 '16 at 08:26
@Programmer I usually just **Build** my APK without building and running, so my device's android version doesn't matter here. Finally, I have removed Google Play Services Plugin from my Unity project and I still have the same problem! Even if I create a fresh, brand new Unity project, the error still comes up! I definitely need help now, because I can't build at all... — , Jul 01 '16 at 08:28
@Programmer Also, I couldn't find another way to communicate with you. — , Jul 01 '16 at 08:32

This absolutely will fix your problem.

Download the google_play_services from this link below :

https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/google_play_services_8298000_r28.zip

Then unzip it.

after unzip copy the file to :

android-sdk/extras/google/google_play_services/

Find version.xml file at the zip file:

android-sdk/extras/google/google_play_services/libproject/google-play-services_lib/res/values/

and copy it to :

Assets/Plugins/Android/res/values/

At unity folder

This is work for me.

To fix this error, you have to copy the version.xml file from

android-sdk/extras/google/google_play_services/libproject/google-play-services_lib/res/values/

into

Assets/Plugins/Android/res/values/

of your Unity project's folder.

I can't find `android-sdk` . Where is it? – Dinovr Jun 28 '16 at 13:00
Also, I don't have a `res` folder. – Dinovr Jun 28 '16 at 13:01
In unity menu, Edit-> Preferences -> External Tools -> SDk-path – Umair M Jun 28 '16 at 13:02
create a res folder under Plugins/Android/ – Umair M Jun 28 '16 at 13:03
Thanks. But, I don't have `libproject` folder under `google_play_services`. – Dinovr Jun 28 '16 at 13:04
In android SDK folder : get it from Edit-> Preferences -> External Tools -> SDk-path – Umair M Jun 28 '16 at 13:17
Where is it exactly? I can't find it. Here's a screenshot of SDK path: http://imgur.com/WugeBz4 This is the problem. – Dinovr Jun 28 '16 at 13:22
if its not in the folder then you can open it from Android Studio/Eclipse. If you don't have any then install android studio first. (https://developer.android.com/studio/intro/update.html#sdk-manager) – Umair M Jun 28 '16 at 13:27
My SDK is updated. Look: http://imgur.com/LtSFkpO But I still have the same problem. – Dinovr Jun 28 '16 at 15:11
@UmairM I'm also interested in an answer to this. – Jun 29 '16 at 10:53
@Dinovr make sure you have installed "Google API" not just Tools items. If you cant find "Google API" in SDK Manager. Just Install everything. – Umair M Jun 29 '16 at 11:27
@Gog65 Follow instructions in my answer. Let me know if this works – Umair M Jun 29 '16 at 11:27
still cant find "res" folder? – Umair M Jun 29 '16 at 13:36
@UmairM I still don't have `libproject` folder under `google_play_services`. – Dinovr Jun 29 '16 at 14:36
