Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithJarMergingForDebug'

Question

Good day. After updating google repository in AndroidStudio, I have an issue

> Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithJarMergingForDebug'.
> com.android.build.transform.api.TransformException: java.util.zip.ZipException: duplicate entry:
> android/support/v7/cardview/BuildConfig.class

I'm trying to exclude group android.support from play-services, it did not help. When I started my project on another PC I have:

> Error:Execution failed for task  ':app:transformClassesWithJarMergingForDebug'.
> com.android.build.transform.api.TransformException: java.util.zip.ZipException: duplicate entry:
> android/support/annotation/AnimRes.class

my build.gradle:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'com.android.databinding'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion "23.0.1"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "ru.alexeyk.myevents"
        minSdkVersion 14
        targetSdkVersion 23
        versionCode 16
        versionName "1.121"
        multiDexEnabled true
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

Answer 1

In terminal execute in root project folder:

./gradlew clean

It helped me.

Answer 2

AndroidStudio Menu:

Build/Clean Project

Update old dependencies

Answer 3

All the above not working for me.. Because I am using Facebook Ad dependency..

Incase If anybody using this dependency compile 'com.facebook.android:audience-network-sdk:4.16.0'

Try this code instead of above

compile ('com.facebook.android:audience-network-sdk:4.16.0'){
exclude group: 'com.google.android.gms'
}
