Can anyone help me to solve this problem...? please...

This is what happens when aapt fails to create an archive.
First make sure you are using the latest IDE and SDK. aapt for packaging is obsolete, and the earlier aapt2 has many bugs.
If they are up to date, try to check if the following processes on your computer have read/write access to the project directory.
[your android sdk path]\build-tools[your sdk version]\aapt.exe
[your android sdk path]\build-tools[your sdk version]\aapt2.exe
[your android studio path]\bin\studio64.exe
[your android studio path]\bin\fsnotifier64.exe
[your android studio path]\jre\bin\java.exe
[your android studio path]\jre\bin\javaw.exe
If you haven't set permissions manually, they are usually blocked by security software.
I recently ran into this problem and spent a lot of time finally found out that the security software on my workstation was not adding aapt2 and aapt to the allowed list for the project repository.

Flutter Build Issue: Build APK Fails for flutter App

C:\src\flutter\bin\flutter.bat – no-color build apk
Waiting for another flutter command to release the startup lock...
You are building a fat APK that includes binaries for android-arm, android-ARM64, android-x64.
If you are deploying the app to the Play Store, it's recommended to use app bundles or split the APK to reduce the APK size.
To generate an app bundle, run:
flutter build appbundle – target-platform android-arm, android-ARM64, android-x64
Learn more on: https://developer.android.com/guide/app-bundle
To split the APKs per ABI, run:
flutter build apk – target-platform android-arm, android-ARM64, android-x64 – split-per-abi
Learn more on: https://developer.android.com/studio/build/configure-apk-splits#configure-abi-split

The built failed likely due to AndroidX incompatibilities in a plugin. The tool is about to try using Jetfier to solve the incompatibility.
✏️ Creating android\settings_aar.gradle...
[!] Flutter tried to create the file android\settings_aar.gradle, but failed.
To manually update settings.gradle, follow these steps:
Copy settings.gradle as settings_aar.gradle
Remove the following code from settings_aar.gradle:
def localPropertiesFile = new File(rootProject.projectDir, "local.properties")
def properties = new Properties()
assert localPropertiesFile.exists()
localPropertiesFile.withReader("UTF-8") { reader -> properties.load(reader) }
def flutterSdkPath = properties.getProperty("flutter.sdk")
assert flutterSdkPath != null, "flutter.sdk not set in local.properties"
apply from: "$flutterSdkPath/packages/flutter_tools/gradle/app_plugin_loader.gradle"
Please create the file and run this command again.
Process finished with exit code 1
Tried changing daemon in build.properties file, tried Invalidate cache/restart but nothing seems to work

Running React-Native App locally (FB F8 App) - Build Failed Error

I am trying to run a the react-native app that was used at F8 locally. I am following the instructions here: http://makeitopen.com/tutorials/building-the-f8-app/local-setup/
I have everything work correctly (I can go to http://localhost:8080/dashboard/apps and http://localhost:8080/graphql and see data and run queries)
However, when I try to run the builds for iOS and Android, I am running into errors.

How do I make these work?

For android only
You will need to set Android SDK path like this and must have at least Android SDK Build-Tools Rev 23.0.1.

Please help

try running the android tools and installing the items below:
Open the SDK manager.
You will require:
1. "SDK Platform" for android-23
2. "Android SDK Platform-tools (latest)
3. "Android SDK Build-tools" (latest)]

cordova platform update android
will fix the error. Cordova is always one behind the android version eg if we have android API 24 then we have cordova 5.x.x supporting upto API 23. Hence any project is build using API 24(eg. using Android Studio) will show this error.
For better understanding I have posted error that I got:
Error: cmd: Command failed with exit code 1 Error output:
