I know this question has been asked before but I have been stuck for 2 hours now trying every solution offered in the other threads but it's not working.
What I am trying to do is generating a signed apk for my application from android studio it gives me this error :
Note: I have no errors in my application and it is running smoothly both in debug mode and normal mode
Edit: I would also like to note that I have checked and rechecked my XMls and I cant find any extra characters in them
