Question

I have recently update Android Studio to the latest version and since I have been facing problem with the libraries connecting to it.

The latest problem faced is the following:

I have checked the following questions but no suggestion would work: Android Studio: Resolving Duplicate Classes

This could be a duplicate question of the following: 61 Duplicate classes in classes.jar, WHERE is classes.jar located?. But unfortunately it was not answered. I hope it would attract attention to the issue.

Answer 1

I have faced same issue. after add firebase libray my issue was solved. so I hope It will help you.

 api 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:17.2.0'

Answer 2

In build.grandle type multiDexEnabled true in buildTypes:

buildTypes {
    release {
        minifyEnabled false
        multiDexEnabled true
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android-optimize.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
    }
}
