Error:Execution failed for task ':app:packageDebug'. > com.android.builder.packaging.PackagerException

Question

I use Android Studio 2.0 RC 1. Today android studio gave itself a mistake.

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:packageDebug'. com.android.builder.packaging.PackagerException: java.io.IOException: Failed to read zip file 'D:\Unimag\MyUnimax21042016\app\ build\outputs\apk\app-debug.apk'.

My gradle file:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'


android {
    compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion "23.0.1"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "kz.dreamwings.unimax"
        minSdkVersion 15
        targetSdkVersion 23
        versionCode 2
        versionName "0.0.2"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }

        debug {
            debuggable true
        }
    }
}



dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.1'
    compile 'com.android.support:design:23.0.1'
    compile 'com.mcxiaoke.volley:library:1.0.19'

    compile 'com.squareup.picasso:picasso:2.5.2'
    compile 'com.github.rahatarmanahmed:circularprogressview:2.5.0'

}

Answer 1

I was able to reproduce the issue on a clean project with one of Android Studio's activity templates. For me the problem was preview version of gradle plugin. Are you using Android Studio 2.2 Preview 1? If yes then find this line in your build.gradle:

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:+

and change it to:

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.0'

For me this solved the problem.

Answer 2

This happened to me when switching GIT branches. It worked to just run Build -> Clean Project.
