title: Failed to execute aapt with cordova
body: <p>I am working on a cordova project that has been working fine for a while, and suddenly I started to get a very strange error whenever the build reaches ":app:processArm64DebugResources" when builing with the command "cordova run android --device".</p>
  
  <p>I have tried removing and adding platforms, running the clean command, updating plugins and more. This error only affects one of my Cordova projects though, when I try to build other projects there is no error.</p>
  
  <p>Here is the output:</p>
