When I build and empty scene on Android I get this error. I tried to execute the comand on comand line inside temp folder

C:\SDKAndroid\build-tools\24.0.0\aapt.exe package --auto-add-overlay -v -f -m -J gen -M AndroidManifest.xml -S “res” -I “C:/SDKAndroid\platforms\android-24\android.jar” -F bin/resources.ap_

And aapt.exe ALWAYS crash after the line “Processing image: res\drawable\app_icon.png”

I tried everything, I read tons of articles in this formun, android forums and nothings helps.

I’m using

  • Unity 5.3.5f1 Personal 64 bits
  • Windows 10
  • Android Studio
  • Android SDK 24

Here’s the complete aapt.exe output:

C:\SDKAndroid\build-tools\24.0.0\aapt.exe package -v -f -m -J gen -M AndroidManifest.xml -S "res" -I "C:/SDKAndroid\platforms\android-24\android.jar" -F bin/resources.ap_

I got the same problem today, even with a new, clean project. It seems to be a problem with aapt tool from the newest Android SDK Build Tools. I’ve downgraded my build tools form 24 to 23.0.3 and it works (I’m using SDK 23 with Android Studio on Win10).
