error: failed linking file resources.
This error is also unpredictable, sometimes after clearing cache it passes the build.

I don’t know why this happens, exactly. But I do know that removing the offending linked packages (note that links only apply RN < 0.69.0) from android/settings.gradle fixes it.
e.g. remove these lines (in the example given)
include ':#promotedai_react-native-metrics'
project(':#promotedai_react-native-metrics').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/#promotedai/react-native-metrics/android')
While I was debugging this, I also found some useful solutions to the errors mentioned. They may be useful:
Argfile not found
Try
cd android
./gradlew clean
Incompatible Kotlin Version
If you notice in the above errors it says The binary version of its metadata is 1.6.0, expected version is 1.1.15 but 1.1.15 is not a valid version of Kotlin. So if you override that with a valid version it’ll fix the issue. Try applying it project wide first (android/build.gradle)
buildScript {
ext {
kotlinVersion = “1.6.0”
}
}
If that has issues, then you can override it directly in the dependency and then save those changes with patch-package
failed linking file resources
In some cases you may see error: resource android:attr/lStar not found. In that case, see Saurabh’s suggestion or this video I found useful.

Warning when flutter build apk command entered

When I run Flutter build apk command the terminal gives me a warning. But apk file generated successfully. Do you have any idea to how to solve this warning?
Here is my terminal output:

I think ._android-async-http-1.4.8.jar is a hidden file or the file is corrupted.
For case one, just rename it to android-async-http-1.4.8.jar and refer it to again.
For case two, just download a new one.

Why I succeed in building example project but failed to building my own project? And how do I fix this error. Thank you for your help!

I had the same problem.
I downgrade version of Java to fix it :
java -version
java version "1.7.0_51"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_51-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.51-b03, mixed mode)

You can report your issue to https://crosswalk-project.org/jira/browse/ to get faster response from Crosswalk developer.

You need Eclipse itself to run under JDK 1.7 (this needs to be configured via the Eclipse ini file). Also make sure JAVA_HOME points to JDK 1.7.
