The main cause is the in your string.xml contains one multiple item with the same name.
<string name="Cancel">Cancel</string>
Check this and remove one.
Hope this will this issue.

Check your String.xml file or post Your String file
error is
D:\AsmitSharma\Logsign\app\src\main\res\values\strings.xml: Error: Found item String/Cancel more than one time

inside your build type add this hope this helps
buildTypes {
defaultConfig
{
multiDexEnabled true
}

I too faced the same problem as "java.lang.RuntimeException: Job failed, see logs for details" while generating signed apk. To resolve it. kindly check
release {
minifyEnabled false
}

Error message after updating to buildTools 27.0.3

After updating to 27.0.3 build tools my project does not compile any more. I'm getting this error message:
com.android.builder.merge.DuplicateRelativeFileException:
More than one file was found with OS independent path 'project.clj'
I can't locate the file "project.clj" in my project.
Clean does not work, invalidate cache and restart either.
Any clues?
Here is the error full stack trace:
