Error:Execution failed for task ':app:packageDebug'. > ! zip.isFile()

Question

 

I’ve been getting this unbearable error, I’ve been going around it going back a while in my project since I backup the app, then sometimes it worked, when it didn’t work I had to redo the backup, and I don’t know why it worked, more this time I didn’t take the backup so I need to solve this problem.

it happened when I put the Youtube zip in the libs folder, that I managed to get around, now returned the error when I put the Appodeal zip in the libs folder, I thank you from now!

Updating I found out that Rebuild works for this mistake.

Answer 1

Right-click the project root. Ex: app select >> Show in Explorer and delete the file .gradle and click on clean or built option. It will work 100%.
