Hi Muhammad,
Based on your attached screenshot, I suggest you go to these locations to see if there is a file called aapt.exe there
Sir @“Vinh Nguyen”
I couldn’t find file (aapt.exe) on platform-tools.
also I don’t have emulator,tools, folder on my sdk.
and the last on folder 27.0.2 it’s empty folder
here is I can find my aapt but on .py
I can see all of that is .py (?). Looks like that there is a misconfiguration from your machine, so in this case you should double check again other .exe files to see if it behaves the same.
@“Vinh Nguyen”
no item match sir when I searched aapt.exe on file (.katalon)
@“Vinh Nguyen”
so what should I do sir?? because I still couldn’t find aapt.exe on folder .katalon
I’m not sure about this statement “when I searched aapt.exe on file (.katalon)” , how do you search it? Based from your screenshot, your aapt.exe file there, but currently it’s treated by .py. So in this way please adjust your system to not treat .exe file like that

Many people facing the same issue but still there is noone come out with a proper explanation or step to short this problem. Please somebody share your knowledge and let us know how we solve this problem . I am also facing the same issue in iOS
I have the same problem, any solutions yet?
Guys I have found the solution and i think katalon team should hire me because nobody from their side come in front with a proper solution.
Solution :
In iOS first you uninstall the application from your device .
Open your Xcode go to window then Device & Simulator and then add your application again
Now try ,it will work.
You can try it
