Adding google repo to allprojects fixed my problem.

Beginning with Android Studio 3.2 Canary 11, the source for AAPT2 (Android Asset Packaging Tool 2) is Google's Maven repository.

To use AAPT2, make sure that you have a google() dependency in your build.gradle file, as shown here:

buildscript {   repositories {       google() // here       jcenter()   }   dependencies {       classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.0-alpha12'   } }  allprojects {   repositories {       google() // and here       jcenter() }
