Not able to generate signed APK?

Question

I am trying to generate signed APK. but not able to generate it due to the lint error at the time of generating. I checked my lint report and it's showing error in my XML file.

Explanation for issues of type "NotSibling": Layout constraints in a given ConstraintLayout or RelativeLayout should reference other views within the same relative layout (but not itself!)

1 errors, 0 warnings

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

What went wrong: Execution failed for task ':app:lintVitalRelease'.

Lint found fatal errors while assembling a release target. To proceed, either fix the issues identified by lint, or modify your build script as follows: ... android { lintOptions { checkReleaseBuilds false // Or, if you prefer, you can continue to check for errors in release builds, // but continue the build even when errors are found: abortOnError false

Here is my XML:

<RelativeLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:clickable="true"
    android:background="@color/background">

    <androidx.core.widget.NestedScrollView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_below="@+id/all_featured_deals_divider"
        android:orientation="vertical"
        android:overScrollMode="never">

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:orientation="vertical"
        android:paddingTop="3dp"
        android:paddingRight="6dp"
        android:paddingLeft="6dp"
        android:paddingBottom="3dp">

    <androidx.recyclerview.widget.RecyclerView
        android:id="@+id/notificationsRecyclerView"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:nestedScrollingEnabled="false"/>

    </LinearLayout>

    </androidx.core.widget.NestedScrollView>

</RelativeLayout>

Getting error in this line:

    android:layout_below="@+id/all_featured_deals_divider"

../../src/main/res/layout/notification_view.xml:48: @+id/all_featured_deals_divider is not a sibling in the same RelativeLayout

Error is: Layout constraints in a given ConstraintLayout or RelativeLayout should reference other views within the same relative layout (but not itself!)

Remove android:layout_below="@+id/all_featured_deals_divider"

if you are reusing the xml e.g. using include, do the constraints there.
