Android Studio upgrade Android resource compilation failed #115

Hi guys,

I know it’s early but I got following error from Android Studio 3.2 Preview when usingcom.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.0-alpha14 :

Android resource compilation failed

It’s easy to reproduce, just create an empty project with build tool version 3.2.0-alpha14 . And the following dependencies:

implementation 'io.smooch:core:5.12.1'
implementation 'io.smooch:ui:5.12.1'

After somme research this seem to be linked with following resources:

    <item name="cc_card" type="id">2222</item>
    <item name="cc_ccv" type="id">4444</item>
    <item name="cc_entry" type="id">1000</item>
    <item name="cc_entry_internal" type="id">3000</item>
    <item name="cc_exp" type="id">3333</item>
    <item name="cc_form_layout" type="id">1111</item>
    <item name="cc_zip" type="id">5555</item>
    <item name="custom" type="id"/>

I have been using Android studio Preview (from canary channel) for month now because the release version is slow on mac os hight sierra.
