Describe the bug

I'm trying to decompile a xapk app to apk to insatall it on WSA. When trying to compile to apk file I get this error

error: resource android:style/TextAppearance.Material.Notification.Reply is private W: error: failed linking file resources

Not sure if the issue with the new version of the app or something else. The decompling and compiling works with previous versions of the app with no issue

The app is a xapk file. App link

To Reproduce

decompile the xapk app and them try to compile the app to apk
