This suddenly appears because, starting with tools r8, applications are compiled using the latest version of aapt (the tool that compiles the android resource).
We used to use version of aapt specific to the version of Android you compiled against, but not anymore. Benefits of using the latest versions: - if we add a feature, you'll get it even if you compile against an older version. For instance, the new mode that automatically insert debuggable="true" in your manifest would not be usable on older versions. - you get bug fixes too, or behavioral changes. In this case, aapt is more strict, and while that may be annoying at first, this is really important to use positional format.
