Android Gradle Project upgrading build tools to 21.0.1: aapt throws Exception
This worked for me: It’s metadata added by tools like Photoshop that isn’t even honored by Android. Strip it. brew install exiftool find . -path ‘*src/main/res/*’ -name ‘*.png’ -exec exiftool -overwrite_original -all= {} \; Source: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/adt-dev/rjTQ_STR3OE/-UcNQRISTKsJ P.S. Tested on Mac only.
