Error while compiling release build in Android Studio 3.0 RC2

Question

How can I fix this issues while compiling release build in Android Studio 3.0 RC2

Error:Error: commons-logging defines classes that conflict with classes now provided by Android. Solutions include finding newer versions or alternative libraries that don't have the same problem (for example, for httpclient use HttpUrlConnection or okhttp instead), or repackaging the library using something like jarjar. [DuplicatePlatformClasses]

Answer 1

add to app/build.gradle

configurations {
    all {
        exclude module: 'httpclient'
        exclude module: 'commons-logging'
    }
}

Answer 2

Add to build.gradle located in app module

configurations {
    all {
        exclude module: 'httpclient'
        exclude module: 'commons-logging'
    }
}

Answer 3

In my case I use this dependency:

compile 'com.github.nkzawa:socket.io-client:0.3.0'

The json is wrong. I changed

implementation('com.github.nkzawa:socket.io-client:0.3.0',{
    exclude group:'org.json',module: 'json'
})

Answer 4

The same error i fixed by this piece of code...

android {
...

configurations {
    all {
        exclude module: 'httpclient'
        exclude module: 'json'
        exclude group: 'org.apache.httpcomponents'
    }
}

...
}
