Need Some Help for: Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugResources'

Question

Android resource linking failed
C:\Users\Yoan\firebaseapp\android\app\build\intermediates\merged_manifests\debug\AndroidManifest.xml:49: AAPT: error: resource drawable/ic_stat_ic_notification (aka com.firebaseapp:drawable/ic_stat_ic_notification) not found.

AndroidManifest.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW"/>

    <application android:usesCleartextTraffic="true" tools:targetApi="28" tools:ignore="GoogleAppIndexingWarning" />
</manifest>

res folder:

value folder:

strings.xml:

colors.xml:

styles.xml:

I read on couple of questions that if I have the first line in the .xml file twice I have to remove one, but what can I do in my case? I have it only once.

Can you update the question with a screenshot of the contents of your drawable folder? — harshithdwivedi, Jun 12 '19 at 06:23

It seems that you are missing a file named ic_stat_ic_notification in your project.

Open your project.
Goto android/app/src/main/res/drawable and check if you have a file with name ic_stat_ic_notification or not...
if unavailable please add a file with that name within the drawable folder.

Suggestion:-
I would suggest your app icon with that name to be added in the drawable folder(as the name of file contains notification do it might be a notification icon file).

i read the conversation between you and the-dagger. So, did it work? – Gáüřãv Jõşhï Jun 12 '19 at 10:24
goto your string.xml file and paste this code:- ```Firebase``` – Gáüřãv Jõşhï Jun 12 '19 at 10:32
Okay looks like this works but now:> Execution failed for task ':app:mergeDebugResources'. > Error: Cannot create directory C:\Users\Yoan\firebaseapp\android\app\build\intermediates\incremental\mergeDebugResources\merged.dir\values – Jun 12 '19 at 10:34
can you show the images of all the xml files in values folder – Gáüřãv Jõşhï Jun 12 '19 at 10:40
Okay just a moment – Jun 12 '19 at 10:41
is it possible for you to upload your project – Gáüřãv Jõşhï Jun 12 '19 at 10:57
In the terminal, goto your project location the run:- ```cd android && gradlew clean && cd .. && react-native run-android``` – Gáüřãv Jõşhï Jun 12 '19 at 11:00
it doesn't recognize gradlew – Jun 12 '19 at 11:04
it seems that you have too many lost files... use ```react-native init newProjectName``` and transfer all the source files/folders there eg:- ```package.json, index.js, index.android.js, App.js, app.json,android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest and android/app/src/main/java``` – Gáüřãv Jõşhï Jun 12 '19 at 12:00

I think what you need to do is add a new file to your drawable folder with the name ic_stat_ic_notification.png and then retry building the project.

I'd also suggest that you add a screenshot of your project structure to your original question so that we know what its contents are.

A quick Google of that error message lead me to this other SO post: AAPT error: resource drawable/... not found which seems to mention some other potential reasons for getting this error in it's comments.

In particular, there is some talk about line ending mismatches that may apply to your situation? Other potential issues include not having the correct API version set, or missing files from your project.

Given your error specifically mentions com.firebaseapp:drawable/ic_stat_ic_notification, my guess is that it's the last issue (missing files from your project), have you got the firebase SDK/resources correctly added?

I saw that but I didn't understand what actually he did, if you can help ? — , Jun 11 '19 at 22:48
