Thanks for the bug report and the example, I have tested this on our latest internal preview (XA SDK 9.4.x) and I am able to reproduce this issue. I'll start taking a look to see what is happening.

Looks like the _ConvertCustomViews task is being skipped it thinks the resources are up to date.

Hi @jonpryor - we have faced this same issue even disable the aapt2 in release mode. Is anyone faced this in before

@HemalathaMarikuma-syncfusion this issue is a bit old, can you file a new one including build logs?

One thing to note is that enabling Android App Bundles forces aapt2 to be enabled. Just and idea, but maybe that is happening?
