I'm not obtaining the same error you mention, but a different one.

So holding open for a bit since unsure.

@iBotPeaches you have the old code aapt2
aosp-mirror/platform_frameworks_base@6a5b8b1#diff-87a131c4fe0533388598e0e20792541b7347fca9bb6aea96036c64ba3a773fd8

@iBotPeaches you have the old code aapt2 aosp-mirror/platform_frameworks_base@6a5b8b1#diff-87a131c4fe0533388598e0e20792541b7347fca9bb6aea96036c64ba3a773fd8

Thanks, I'm in the process of an upgrade for that other ticket. Probably not updating aapt1 though.

[iBotPeaches]

I've started revert of affected code here - #2785 and have an aapt2/aapt1 upgrade in process locally. Seems like 116k commits between upstream and mine, so I will probably re-apply all patches manually in 2 commits (aapt/aapt2) since this is getting difficult to keep up to date.
