BuildException: Failed to execute aapt in Android Studio 3.1 Canary 6

I am facing this issue during gradle build:

This issue is not coming on Android Studio 3.0.1

try this. I tried , it is working.
Android Studio > Help > Check For Update > Configure and select Canary Channel on spinner and click ok. After clean project and re build .

I had the same error as i added a dependency that uses the compile sdk version and the target sdk version greater to that of my project's compile sdk version.
My projects Compile sdk version was 26
I added the easy permissions library that uses the compile sdk version 28.
After adding the 'implementation 'pub.devrel:easypermissions:2.0.1'' above error was thrown.
Fix was to made my compile sdk version to 28.
Reason:
A library is compiled as part of the dependent application project, so the API used in >the library project must be compatible with the version of the Android library used to >compile the application project. In general, the library project should use an API level >that is the same as — or lower than — that used by the application. If the library >project uses an API level that is higher than that of the application, the application >project will not compile. It is perfectly acceptable to have a library that uses the >Android 1.5 API (API level 3) and that is used in an Android 1.6 (API level 4) or >Android 2.1 (API level 7) project, for instance.

Try adding:
implementation 'com.android.support.constraint: constraint-layout: 1.0.2'
In your build.gradle {} dependencies
In my case that was the problem, maybe some xml resources need to use constraint-layout......

Cannot install library using gradle

This is my build file. I'm using Intellij CE. I'm trying to use this yahoo finance api:
group 'com.scrap'
version '1.0-SNAPSHOT'
apply plugin: 'java'
sourceCompatibility = 1.5
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
compile group: 'com.yahoofinance-api', name: 'YahooFinanceAPI', version: '4.0.0'
compile 'joda-time:joda-time:2.2'
testCompile group: 'junit', name: 'junit', version: '4.11'
}
When I manually sync the project in the Gradle tool window, I get a red line under the yahoofinance library and a message that says
unable to resolve com.yahoofinance-api:YahooFinanceAPI:4.0.0
What am I doing wrong?

4.0 YahooFinanceAPI does not exist in Maven. The latest one is 3.5.0 - cf - https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.yahoofinance-api/YahooFinanceAPI
Tested by modify the version and adding an option for creating a fat jar
group 'com.scrap'
version '1.0-SNAPSHOT'
apply plugin: 'java'
sourceCompatibility = 1.5
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
compile group: 'com.yahoofinance-api', name: 'YahooFinanceAPI', version: '3.5.0' //Changed version
compile 'joda-time:joda-time:2.2'
testCompile group: 'junit', name: 'junit', version: '4.11'
}
// Added new section
jar {
from {
(configurations.runtime).collect {
it.isDirectory() ? it : zipTree(it)

Why does Gradle configurations.runtime.collect pull in Groovy?

why does the Class-Path include Groovy, and why is it packaged as if it's a run-time dependency? What is pulling Groovy in?

manifestClasspath = manifestClasspath.unique().join(" ")
println (manifestClasspath)
manifest.attributes.put("Main-Class", mainClassName)
manifest.attributes.put("Class-Path", manifestClasspath)
}
I think that the solution lies in dealing with configurations.runtime.collect in that Groovy should be removed from that collection. It just seems odd that it's included implicitly. Is this typical, to include Groovy?
The notion of a providedCompile looks interesting, but I'm not sure that it applies. Am I using Gradle in an odd way somehow?
The library and client repos are on github. Code posted might not be 100% as the latest commits, to make the questions as clear as possible.

how to specify run time dependencies for a fat JAR, using Groovy

A very brief search explained to how to package run time dependencies for distribution:
thufir#mordor:~/NetBeansProjects/hello_client$
thufir#mordor:~/NetBeansProjects/hello_client$ gradle clean build
Changed strategy of configuration ':compile' after it has been resolved. This behaviour has been deprecated and is scheduled to be removed in Gradle 3.0

with the desired output. However, the suggested solution, a "fat jar", results in this monstrosity:

which then goes on seemingly endlessly. Obviously, I don't want to include groovy in the fat jar. How can I exclude groovy from the built JAR?
build file:
apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'application'
apply plugin: 'maven'
mainClassName = 'net.bounceme.mordor.hello.client.HelloClient'
sourceCompatibility = '1.8'
[compileJava, compileTestJava]*.options*.encoding = 'UTF-8'

jar {
from { configurations.compile.collect { it.isDirectory() ? it : zipTree(it) } }
manifest {
attributes ('Main-Class': mainClassName,
"Class-Path": configurations.compile.collect { it.getName() }.join(' '))
}
}
assemble.dependsOn (jar)
configurations.all {
resolutionStrategy.cacheChangingModulesFor 0, 'seconds'
}
what alternatives are there to:
from { configurations.compile.collect { it.isDirectory() ? it : zipTree(it) } }
Admittedly, I haven't learned the Groovy DSL and am just kludging together bits and pieces so far.
I believe that I saw mention of subtracting one set of dependencies from another to minimize the included libraries. However, in the odd case that there are libraries which aren't required to compile, but are required to execute the JAR, I'm not sure how that would work.
