if you want to find out the exact error go to the following path in your project: /app/build/reports/lint-
results-release-fatal.html(or .xml). The easiest way is if you go to the xml file, it will show you exactly
33 what the error is including its position of the error in your either java class or xml file. Turning off the
lint checks is not a good idea, they're there for a reason. Instead, go to:

/app/build/reports/lint-results-release-fatal.html or
/app/build/reports/lint-results-release-fatal.xml

and fix it.

Try These 3 lines in your app.gradle file.

checkReleaseBuilds false
// Or, if you prefer, you can continue to check for errors in release builds,
// but continue the build even when errors are found:
abortOnError false

My problem was a missing translation. I had a settings.xml that was not translated as it was not
needed, so I had to add "translatable="false" to the strings:
6 <string translatable="false" name="stringname">This string doesn't need translation</string>
