All the sudden I started receiving the following error when building Cordova application in VS 2015. The upgrade / deletion of packages in Android SDK lead to this issue.
platforms\android\build\intermediates\res\merged\debug\values-v24\values-v24.xml:3 : AAPT: Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'android:TextAppearance.Material.Widget.Button.Borderless.Colored'.
platforms\android\build\intermediates\res\merged\debug\values-v24\values-v24.xml:4 : AAPT: Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'android:TextAppearance.Material.Widget.Button.Colored'.
I tried to resolve it for the last 4 days already, with no success. The following attempts were made:
- Reinstallation of VS 2015 with all corresponding third-party applications
- Reinstallation of Android SDK using VS installer
- Complete Android SDK transfer from another computer where the same source code compiles
- Complete reinstall of Win10 (3 times!) with and without deletion of all user data
- Clean VS 2015 build with and without my original MS user - to avoid possibility that VS restores some user settings stored in my account
- Installation of other Android SDK platforms, extras, Google APIs, Android SDK build tools etc.
- Compilation with JDK 1.8.x
- Compilation using different Target API defined in config.xml: 16, 23 & 24
- Removing dependent plugins, like Cordova Compat and BarcodeScanner
- VS 2017 compile - fails complaining about missing licenses. There is no Licenses folder in Android SDK so I cannot copy it from there as described by Google
- Compilation for Cordova CLI versions higher than 6.0.0. The newer fail will the same licensing issue as VS 2017
- Deletion of platforms/plugins/bower/node_modules folders before build
- Moving the source code to root folder so that the paths are shorter
Exactly the same, fresh source code compiles for my friends and does compile for me on another computer.
Sometimes it does compile for me, with no changes made. In those cases, for some reason, separate packages for ARM/x86 are not generated. They should be generated as the result of using Crosswalk project in embedded mode..

Obviously the versions of the libraries are different. But I ran out of ideas how this issue could be fixed.
