hey, I'm not sure this error is coming from our plugin (we don't add any resources to the apk), could you perhaps try to troubleshoot it as mentioned here? https://stackoverflow.com/a/52816708

the apk has no problem, it built and running without any issues, the problem is that the progaurd mapping file is not uploaded in this step.

[Roman Zavarnitsyn]

yeah but the log says:

Uploaded a total of 1 new mapping files
Newly uploaded debug symbols:
e18afab8-a6bd-45c3-92e8-ea63256352af

which means it has been uploaded. And this error is not coming from our plugin or cli, it's coming from the android build tools. If it's not feasible to investigate on your end, I'd ask to provide a reproducible project which we can look into ourselves, thank you
