Well, it looks like the file C:\Users\Awaisi3\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\build-tools\27.0.3\aapt2.exe is either missing or is corrupt. Try re-installing build tools 27.0.3 through the SDK manager.

Thanks for your kind reply How can re-install build tools please guide – Awais Ahmed May 29 '18 at 19:30
Use the SDK manager. You can get it from https://developer.android.com/studio/#downloads ('Command line tools only' for your platform, Windows) – Izabela Orlowska May 30 '18 at 13:44
Or if you're using android studio you can just use the sdk manger in android studio. – Izabela Orlowska May 30 '18 at 13:44
