Answer 1

i just change minifyEnabled to false .

buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }

Answer 2

i saw somewher someone add this code to build.gradle i tried it and its solve my problem

lintOptions {

    checkReleaseBuilds false

    // Or, if you prefer, you can continue to check for errors in release 
    //builds,
    // but continue the build even when errors are found:

    abortOnError false

}

buildTypes {
    release {
        aaptOptions.cruncherEnabled = false
        aaptOptions.useNewCruncher = false
        minifyEnabled false
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 
        'proguard-rules.pro'
    }
}

Answer 3

Check your PNG images, corrupted maybe or not real png (jpeg for example)

You can get the list of unreal PNGs by typing following command in android terminal

find . -type f -name "*.png" | xargs -L 1 -I{} file  -I {} | grep -v 'image/png; charset=binary$'

Answer 4

Add the following statement to your gradle.properties file:

android.enableAapt2=false

Also make sure to update build tools, gradle plugin and gradle version.
