Upgrading from com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.1 to com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.0

Question

In my build.gradle (Module: app), I was using classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.1' and I changed it to classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.0'. The BUILD FAILED showing the following message:

Error:FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugResources'.

Any ideas about a fix for this? It seems to be complaining about missing resources related to fonts and font styles, but I am not sure what I should do to fix it.

Maybe under file, Invalidate Cache and restart? Sometimes the caching causes issues when making gradle changes — Brandon, Apr 29 '19 at 17:16
@Brandon It does not fix the problem. I used the `File > Invalidate Caches / Restart...` option and the problem persists. — Jaime Montoya, Apr 29 '19 at 18:05

I kept com.android.tools.build.gradle:3.0.1 but did these two things:

Installed `Android SDK Platform 28 (platforms;android-28)
Replaced compileSdkVersion 23 with compileSdkVersion 28 in `build.gradle (Module: app)
