[SOLVED] Updated to Androidx and I can't generate an APK in release: AAPT2 process unexpectedly exit

Gradle Version: 5.6.2.

Android Plugin Version: 3.5.0 .

Compile SDK Version: 28.

Build Tools version: 28.0.3.

SDK Tools version:

I have a functional version app with Android Plugin Version 3.2.1 and Gradle Version 4.6, but to apply new features we had to migrate to androidx.

After performing the migration and updating the dependencies, it workis fine, we run on emulator and test phone on debug build.

Althrough when we try to generate a release APK/bundle it fails due to an error in the AAPT2 link. (AAPT2 aapt2-3.5.0-5435860-windows Daemon #0: Unexpected error during link, attempting to stop daemon. This should not happen under normal circumstances, please file an issue if it does.)

The APK is generated when Disable the minifyEnabled option.

But, We cannot distribute an APK without the minification.

We alredy tryed the following:

1 - Perform downgrade for Android Gradle Plugin 3.4.0 and Gradle Version 5.4.1 as suggested at (build failing during merge resources with Android Gradle plugin 3.3.0) but the error persists

2 - I performed the AAPT2 command to compile the media in the res folder of my application using the commands on the AAPT2 page (https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line/aapt2#compile) to check if the problem occurred when compiling the resourses of the application, but it was successful when compiling.

3 - Use the options cruncherEnabled = false and useNewCruncher = false in aaptOptions

4 - use the android.enableAapt2 = false option in gradle.properties, but it has already been deprecated

5 - run assembleDebug and assembleRelease in my gradle console
