title: :app:processDebugResources FAILED error when building react-native android
body: <p>I'm getting a <code>:app:processDebugResources FAILED</code> error when running <code>react-native run-android</code> and I have no clue on how to fix it, I tried some of the things they mention here: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20737200/execution-failed-appprocessdebugresources-android-studio">Execution failed app:processDebugResources Android Studio</a> but it didn't help. </p>
  
  <p>Here's a stack trace:</p>
