A failure occurred while exec

Answer 1

I had the same issue. There were two ways to fix my case:

1. Adding vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true

2. In my drawable vector xml files there were links to @color:

   <path
       android:fillColor="@color/white"
       ...
   

   I replaced with

   <path
       android:fillColor="#fff"
       ...
   

   and the problem disappeared.
