Is there any solution for the aapt2 error: check logs for details error?

Question

Hi everyone, I'm learning about android. While working, I try migrate to gradle-plugin-3.0.0. As a result, I get the message:

The cause: Non-ASCII symbols in the gradle route could be the source of the problem. For example, the user folder's cyrillic symbols. The solution: To solve the error, you need to move to another directory with an ASCII-only path.

AAPT2 Error solution.

Your Android studio must have been updated.

You might encounter an error in your studio such as " error AAPT2 error: Check the log for more

This error occurs when your.xml file contains an error such as an incorrect value or content not found.

However, the error description will not be displayed. Android Studio 4.0 does not provide a specific error. It displays the AAPT2 error.

Keep the patience and See build tab at the bottom panel of Android studios, you will get an exact error there what you made a mistake in which file and which position.

This error could be caused by non-ASCII symbol in gradle path. E.g. E.g., the cyrillic symbol of the user directory. Switching to an ASCII-only directory solves the problem.
