More than one file was found with OS independent path 'lib/mips/libRSSupport.so' when using buildToolsVersion 28.0.1

Question

I have update my buildToolsVersion from 27.0.3 to 28.0.1. When i compile my project, i have compile error:

More than one file was found with OS independent path 'lib/mips/libRSSupport.so'  

When i click on Build->Run build, i see this:

org.gradle.initialization.ReportedException: org.gradle.internal.exceptions.LocationAwareException: Execution failed for task ':app:transformNativeLibsWithMergeJniLibsForDebug'.

How to fix this error? Or is it bug of Google Build Tools?

Answer 1

A temporary solution is to add this to your build.gradle (app level) inside android {}

packagingOptions {
    exclude "lib/mips/libRSSupport.so"
    exclude "lib/mips/librsjni.so"
}
