I'll add on that to check EVERY .xml file. This includes your AndroidManifest.xml file. Most errors can also be subtle, too. For example, this piece of code was causing the error: android:fullBackupContent="". In case if you can't find the error, try using gradlew build --stacktrace, as it gives a full stacktrace, allowing for you to trace the error.
