Execution failed for task ':app:compressDebugAssets'

Issue

Execution failed:

task ':app:compressDebugAssets'.> A failure occurred while executing com.android.build.gradle.internal.tasks.CompressAssetsWorkAction > \app\build\intermediates\merged_assets\debug\out

Solution

I found a temporary solution in downgrading my Android Studio version to 4.0.2. Additionally, I changed the Android Gradle plugin version to 4.0.2 and the Gradle version to 6.1.1 which I had installed before. You can do this under File -> Project Structure -> Project.
