I finished the android download and everything works fine, even testing the app on an Android device. But when I try to export a signed package it starts but I get tonnes of errors, we’re talking in the hundreds. Here are some of the errors:

```auto

	at com.android.build.gradle.tasks.ProcessAndroidResources.doFullTaskAction(ProcessAndroidResources.java:285)

```

This leads me to believe there is something wrong with Gradle. I tried to do some troubleshooting but I couldn’t figure out what the problem is. Does anyone know how to fix this?

UPDATE: Found this in the error:

```auto
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:processReleaseResources'.
> Failed to execute aapt

* Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.
