apktool d -f -r

I was also getting the same error. Use flags -f and -r during apktool d

Now during build there is no resource error.

[Kiran9901]

Replacing apktool-dirty with apktool solves the problem. To do so, first remove existing apktool using the following command: sudo apt remove apktool sudo apt autoremove

Then follow the link for installing apktool: https://ibotpeaches.github.io/Apktool/install/
