aapt2 + mobile-install v1 doesn't build a runnable APK

Bug report from @sunyal:

Building the example app from Bazel Android Tutorial with --android_aapt=aapt2 results in a un-runnable app. App is fine with --android_aapt=aapt.

@sunyal I can reproduce this with bazel mobile-install but not bazel build && adb install. Did you try it with mobile-install?

[AlexBeggs]

@jin if I recall it was through bazel mobile-install

[AlexBeggs]

@jin does it work if you call bazel build and then use the adb install or are you also able to use the build mobile-install after it is built?

[AlexBeggs]

@jin I was able to install it and run it using the adb install command after just issuing the bazel build. It looks like the issue is related to bazel mobile-install

[jin]

@sunyal thanks for confirming! It's definitely an issue with mobile-install.

[jin]

Hey @sunyal, the mobile-install built in Bazel is actually v1 of the command. There is mobile-install v2, a rewrite of v1, due to be open sourced this quarter. That version is more feature packed and works with aapt2. Since v2 will be replacing v1, I'm downgrading this to P3 as v1 will eventually go away.

For now, the workaround to use aapt2 would be to use bazel build and adb install. Sorry for the inconvenience.

@jin thanks for the update

@sunyal this is fixed, and will be available in 0.22 (or head now)
