Answer 1

On Windows I had a "BUILD FAILED Failed to crunch file [path]" error and solved it by closing the Android Studio project, copying the entire project folder into a location with a shorter directory path, such as my C: folder and then opening the project in the new location. Hope it helps

Please add entry in build.gradle for cruncher

android { 
    ....
    aaptOptions {
        cruncherEnabled = false
    }
    ....
}
