I am having a problem when trying to do a release build for my Android App so that I can upload it to the Play Store. When I run the following command: ionic cordova build --release --prod android I get the following error 'Execution failed for task ':app:mergeReleaseResources'.
java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: com.android.builder.internal.aapt.v2.Aapt2InternalException: AAPT2 aapt2-3.3.0-5013011-windows Daemon #7: Unexpected error during compile 'C:\projects...\platforms\android\app\src\main\res\drawable-port-xxxhdpi\screen.png', attempting to stop daemon. This should not happen under normal circumstances, please file an issue if it does.'
From what I have been able to find on the web, this is due to the splash image being to large. please see the following -Execution failed for task ':app:mergeReleaseResources' when using ionic build with--release tag
Has anybody encountered this issue before and how could I resolve it?
Ps, I don't have enough reputation to comment on the linked post, hence why I am asking a new question.
I have tried: - Adding and removing the Android platform - Regenerating the Resources (ionic cordova resources -f) - Compressing the Images
Full terminal output from failure on wards: FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
What went wrong: Execution failed for task ':app:mergeReleaseResources'.
