@iBotPeaches my bad. I was passing the wrong dir. But yes, it fails to build with both aapt1 and aapt2. Should I open another issue for that?

I would investigate those first, if those are warnings because aapt2 is more restrictive then probably not. If it appears that it should be working, then sure. We should investigate.
