When I am building my project at visual studio 2019 at windows or Mac then the following error occurs. "string too large to encode using UTF-8 written instead as 'STRING_TOO_LARGE'. The error is occurs at Visual studio 2019 16.7.7 for windows. But this error is not happening at visual studio 2017. But I need to compile my project to visual studio 2019.

Sorry, we cannot do that because of the policy.
Do you use vector drawable in your projecr?It's not recommended to use vector drawables with very long paths. The long name of XML may also cause the issue. And do you use a long string in the code?
