Upgraded to Android studio 3.4 – Aapt2InternalException: AAPT2: Daemon startup failed

I had a same problem. Currently,the best option is to downgrade your class path to the last stable version. For me, i changed my class path to *classpath ‘com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.3.2’*and it worked for me.
In Android studio 3.4, you can easily downgrade Android Gradle Plugin Version.

  1. Go to File->Project-Structure->Project
  2. Change Android Gradle Plugin Version to 3.3.2 or the last stable version for you
  3. Change the Gradle Version to 4.10.1
  4. Click Ok and sync
  5. Build Apk

Edit (Issue solved): Installing Service pack 1 for window 7 solved the issue. The problem was with Universal C Runtime in Windows.
