Lint found fatal errors while assembling a release target.

 Android packaging error:

Error:Execution failed for task ´:app:lintVitalRelease´.
> Lint found fatal errors while assembling a release target.
  To proceed, either fix the issues identified by lint, or modify your build script as follows:
  ...
  android {
      lintOptions {
          checkReleaseBuilds false
          // Or, if you prefer, you can continue to check for errors in release builds,
          // but continue the build even when errors are found:
          abortOnError false
      }
  }
  ...

 

Solution:

 

In fact, the solution is already in the error message, that is to add a configuration in the build.gradle of corresponding project. In android{} block of build.gradle of app, add the following code:

android {
    compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion ´25.0.0´

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.luzhiyao.sgongdoocar"
        minSdkVersion 14
        targetSdkVersion 23
        versionCode 5
        versionName "1.1.0"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile(´proguard-android.txt´), ´proguard-rules.pro´
        }
    }

    //Add the following configuration
    lintOptions {
        checkReleaseBuilds false
        abortOnError false
    }
}

Then rerun Generate Signed Apk, everything is ok now.
