Found tag id where item is expected with aapt

When I run this command :

"aapt.exe" package -f -m -M "AndroidManifest.xml" -I "android.jar" -S "\res" -J "\RJava" --auto-add-overlay

I receive the error : Found tag id where item is expected

It's this row in the values.xml that cause the problem :

<id name="view_tree_lifecycle_owner"/>

Note: with aapt2.exe it's work well, it's with aapt.exe that it's crash, but i need aapt.exe because I m building apk file

Solution

  • You stated that

    with aapt2.exe it's work well, it's with aapt.exe that it's crash, but i need aapt.exe because I m building apk file.

    aapt2 completely and fully-fledged replaced aapt in 2018. There is no good reason to stick with the old aapt. The Stackoverflow post on the differences between aapt and aapt2 can serve as an overview.
