body: <p>Good day everybody,</p>
  
  <p>I recently migrated to AndroidX and encounter some problems. The projects builds ok, but when I try to run on device, I get the error "Process unexpectedly exit." when running tasks. Specifically when it reach es app:MergeDebugResources</p>
  
  <p>This is what i get:</p>
