Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugResources'. failed to execute aapt

Question

In Android Studio I have this error when I update Android SDK Tools to version 25:

I tried to modify SDK version in gradle build to 21 to execute my app but I have this error. Really I don't why this happens. This is my build.gradle file:

Thanks a lot for your help!

Paste the content of your project level and app level gradle files — ifiok

Do you mean upgrade Gradle? Or the SDK?

I was getting this after adding google maps. It turned out being a missing key reference

Error:(45) resource string/google_maps_key (aka com.your.package:string/google_maps_key) not found.
Error:(45) error: resource string/google_maps_key (aka com.your.package:string/google_maps_key) not found.
android/app/build/intermediates/manifests/full/debug/AndroidManifest.xml

In the manifest. Which needed to be added in the build.gradle script as showin in https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android-api/map-with-marker. After adding the following to build.gradle

  resValue "string", "google_maps_key",
          (project.findProperty("GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY") ?: "")

The aapt error went away.
