I fixed it by overriding package:
Go to android->build.gradle

Change compileSdkVersion to 33 and minSdkVersion to 21.

🔥 Works for Me!

I have a library that requires compile SDK 34

I will be using this forked version https://pub.dev/packages/cached_video_player_fork since it is working well in release until the issue is resolved

I have this same issues, and It took me days to figure out that its this package that is causing a build to fail.

Found a decent solution from @
Yash Garg https://stackoverflow.com/questions/76749280/could-not-compile-my-app-in-release-mode-due-to-aapt-error-resource-androida with an explanation to why this happens in release and not in debug.

you need to add the dependency like this in your pubspec.yaml since the problem comes from the dependency gradle

 cached_video_player:
    git:
        url: https://github.com/vikram25897/flutter_cached_video_player
        ref: feature/gradle_version_bump

[walulyafrancis]

the plugin Kotilin version and targetSdkVersion need to be updated for a fix

[SantiagoPineapple]

Im using packages that needs "minSdkVersion 23" so I fixed using this installation

cached_video_player:
git:
url: https://github.com/vikram25897/flutter_cached_video_player
ref: feature/gradle_version_bump
and removing package="com.lazyarts.vikram.cached_video_player" from AndroidManifest located in the package, but only works locally
