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

Question

I'm facing a problem when building project having multiDexEnabled is true in build.gradle

here is the error

**Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithMultidexlistForDebug'.

java.io.IOException: Can't read [APP_PATH/app/build/intermediates/transforms/CLASSES/FULL_PROJECT/jarMerging/debug/classes.jar] (Can't process class [i.class] (Unknown verification type [19] in stack map frame))**

here is the my gradle file

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'



android {
compileSdkVersion 23
buildToolsVersion '23.0.1'
useLibrary  'org.apache.http.legacy'

defaultConfig {
    multiDexEnabled true
    applicationId "com.example.application"
    minSdkVersion 11
    targetSdkVersion 23
    versionCode 13
    versionName "2.4"
}
buildTypes {
    release {
        minifyEnabled false
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
    }
}

}


dependencies {
compile 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.3.1'
compile 'com.squareup:android-times-square:1.6.4@aar'
compile files('libs/IDTUniPaySDK.jar')
compile files('libs/emv-bertlv-0.1.3-shaded.jar')
compile files('libs/audio.jar')
compile files('libs/bluebambooV4.4.jar')
compile 'ch.acra:acra:4.6.2'
compile 'com.google.code.ksoap2-android:ksoap2-android:3.4.0'
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.1'
compile 'com.android.support:design:23.0.1'
}

when i removed these two dependencies(1-compile files('libs/audio.jar') 2-compile files('libs/bluebambooV4.4.jar')) and also removed the reference code that used these 2 dependencies , my project works fine.

Answer 1

This is what i did to fix this issue:

Go to File > project structure and - in section Modules, check for each module, if the Build tool version in Properties is equivalent to the Target Sdk version in Flavors.

Screenshot of the solution log of my error:
