升级到Android 3.1.2后，AAPT2错误

Question

I updated my android on Friday and have been struggling ever since to figure out the reason for the below error. The trace log and gradle module app file is contained below. I am very new to Android and this is probably showing. :)

Thank you so much for your help. :) Mike

Trace log:

dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.0-alpha17'

}

change dependencies in build.gradle to this
