Hi dev, when I used to change operating systems, I often encountered this kind of error.
When generating signed apk from android studio suddenly an error occurred even though in the previous OS it was normal. A few days later everything worked fine.
Once, on another occasion about 2 weeks later, I also faced a similar problem after trying to reinstall my Linux OS.
The error reads like this.
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception . What went wrong:
A problem was found with the configuration of task ':app:packageRelease'. File '/media/user86/data/MySIPonline/app/build/intermediates/res/resources-release-stripped.ap_' specified for property 'resourceFile' does not exist.
I tried checking that folder and the release-stripped.ap file is in it. I couldn't find any significant error.
This was build.gradle
my project at that time.
android {
compileSdkVersion 23
buildToolsVersion "23.0.3"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.xxxxxxxxxx"
