I have an assets directory such as:

assets\asset1.txt
assets\subfolder\asset2.txt

If I produce an APK, these paths should all get normalized to unix-style directory separators.

However, they will instead be:

assets/asset1.txt
assets\subfolder/asset1.txt

Then if I try to use the asset from Java at runtime, I get a java.io.FileNotFoundException when calling AssetManager.open. It seems that asset sub-directories are completely broken on Windows with aapt2?

I can reproduce this with aapt2.exe from the Android SDK Build Tools 27.0.3, but I can also reproduce from the version on maven here:

https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.android.tools.build/aapt2/3.2.1-4818971

I have ran into this issue as well. aapt does not have this issue.

Any updates? This issue still seems to be present in: https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.android.tools.build/aapt2/4.0.0-6051327

Also, I may have mistyped before, the incorrect entries would be at the path:

assets/subfolder\asset1.txt
