Error:Execution failed for task ':app:buildInfo Debug Loader'

Question

I updated few days ago to Android Studio 2.0 and everything worked fine, but today when I tried to compile the project, I received the following error in the Logcat:

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:buildInfoDebugLoader'.

Exception while doing past iteration backup : Source \app\build\intermediates\builds\debug\184802777347678\classes.dex and destination \app\build\intermediates\builds\debug\184802777347678\classes.dex must be different

The error tells me that the same .dexmust be different, so I'm quite confused. How could I solve it?

Answer 1

1. Clean Your project.
2. And try to rebuild it.

If you did it then enable mutidex in app base build.gradle file.

multiDexEnabled true 

Answer 2

Just add below line in your app Gradle dependencies

compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.0' 

and then below line in defaultConfig

multiDexEnabled true
