Android Studio – Getting Error: File 'ic_launcher.png' uses reserved file or directory name 'res'. while building Bundle file Android Studio

I want to build aab to upload CH Play but it always fails and shows a message:

Execution failed for task ':app:packageReleaseBundle'.
> A failure occurred while executing com.android.build.gradle.internal.tasks.Workers$ActionFacade
   > File 'root/res/drawable-hdpi/ic_launcher.png' uses reserved file or directory name 'res'.

I tried to search ic_launcher.png but my app does not use that name.
Note: I added ‘ic_launcher.png’ in the folder drawable but it still errors.

Please help me with this issue. Thanks in advance!

    ‘res’ is android application reserved directory name, try to change ‘root/res’ for another name

    I suspect you depend on a jar which should be an aar.

    Jars don’t have the concept of Android resources, so when the app bundle is built, it would consider the "res" directory as a a regular directory that would thus be packaged under "root".

    Resources can be packaged in aar files, which would then be packaged properly.
