There is an issue when building a project with google services included. I added the following google services classpath to the root build.gradle file:

dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.3'
    classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.1.0'
}

and the project starts to complain with the following error when compiled:

Some file crunching failed, see logs for details

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:mergeDebugResources'.

Error: Some file crunching failed, see logs for details

I checked the logs for the IDE, but there seems to be no issue there. How do I fix this so that I could include google services in my project?

In this SO post, same error was encountered.

If you have .9.png files, try to remove them and test. In this post the user has many 9 patch images which is a possible reason of crunching problem.

Another thing is to add the code below to your build.gradle file. 

 android {
    aaptOptions {  
       cruncherEnabled = false  
    } 
 }

By doing this, you will be able to exposed the incorrect references and files with issues that needed some fix. Before rebuild, don't forget to clear cache.

  • Thanks for the info. It was really an issue about image files. Is it because the images were too big, which led the IDE failed to compile? – Khaimeng Sep 12 '17 at 00:52
