title: Ionic: Execution failed for task ':mergeDebugResources' (Some file crunching failed)
body: <p>Ionic build command was working fine until I decided to add some custom splash screen and run the following command,</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>ionic resources</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Post that every time I run build command, I got below error while running build command,</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>:mergeDebugResourcesAAPT err(Facade for 35126910): libpng error: Read
    Error  FAILED</p>
    
    <p>FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.</p>
    
    <p>What went wrong: </p>
    
    <p>Execution failed for task ':mergeDebugResources'.</p>
    
    <blockquote>
      <p>Some file crunching failed, see logs for details</p>
    </blockquote>
    
    <p>Try:</p>
    
    <p>BUILD FAILED</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>So clearly, <code>ionic resources</code> command created some issues. </p>
  
  <p>Please help!</p>
