If any other file form the project is needed just ask and i will update the question.

Did you ever resolve or work around this? I'm running into the same issue with Docker/gradle. — Marcel Ray, May 15 '22 at 14:22
Not really, i gave up trying building my own image and went after someone that did it for me. in this case was this service: https://codemagic.io/start/ There are others like AppFlow from Ionic itself — Gabriel Gonçalves, May 27 '22 at 17:26
I was finally able to get it working by using Ubuntu instead of Alpine. My main machine is an M1 Mac which I noticed also causes some weird behaviors, so I switched to a spare Intel Mac that I have. — Marcel Ray, May 27 '22 at 22:22
I was also using mac m1 at the time this problem ocurred, dont know if this is fixed yet i stopped using mac — Gabriel Gonçalves, Dec 19 '22 at 14:09

I was able to add the below commands to my Dockerfile to add two dependencies which gets AAPT2 to run successfully during build of a very simple Android app.

My Docker container is built from ubuntu:22.04 built and run on my M1 MacBook Pro using the default (arm64) platform.

# Install libs so Android's AAPT2 will run on an arm64 arch
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y libc6-amd64-cross libgcc1-amd64-cross && ln -s /usr/x86_64-linux-gnu/lib64/ /lib64
ENV LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/lib64:/usr/x86_64-linux-gnu/lib"

I am using the below Android SDK tools:

root@0b6ca8b95f33:/# sdkmanager --list_installed
[=======================================] 100% Fetch remote repository...       
Installed packages:
  Path                 | Version | Description                    | Location

  platform-tools       | 34.0.1  | Android SDK Platform-Tools     | platform-tools      
  platforms;android-33 | 2       | Android SDK Platform 33        | platforms/android-33
