Okay paste this in your manifest file and check you call the theme out of Application

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    package="com.codewithabhy.howsapp">

    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
        android:supportsRtl="true"
        android:usesCleartextTraffic="true"
        tools:ignore="ExtraText"
        android:theme="@style/Theme.HowsApp">
        <activity android:name=".OTPActivity"></activity>
        <activity android:name=".PhoneNumberActivity">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
        <activity android:name=".MainActivity"></activity>
    </application>

</manifest>

This is due to the newer AAPT2 version (which comes with newer AGP) having a dependency on up-to-date Windows universal C runtime libraries. If you don't have them yet, download from Microsoft's website, if you already do - see if there's an update available (even if you have to do it manually). Microsoft is doing a gradual roll-out of the updates, but sometimes they take longer for certain systems/architectures.
