Com android builder dexing dexarchivemergerexception error while merging dex archives unity

How to fix an error “com.android.builder.dexing.DexArchiveMergerException: Error while merging dex archives:”

These days, we started some project with flutter. So I would like to share our flutter learning experience.

What is the error?

I found an error when implemented Firestore into Flutter.

How to fix it

Add below on a file “/android/app/build.gradle”

Caution

When your app and the libraries it references exceed 65,536 methods, you encounter a build error that indicates your app has reached the limit of the Android build architecture:

Older versions of the build system report a different error, which is an indication of the same problem:

Android app (APK) files contain executable bytecode files in the form of Dalvik Executable (DEX) files, which contain the compiled code used to run your app.

The Dalvik Executable specification limits the total number of methods that can be referenced within a single DEX file to 65,536 — including Android framework methods, library methods, and methods in your own code.

In the context of computer science, the term Kilo, K, denotes 1024 (or 2¹⁰). Because 65,536 is equal to 64 X 1024, this limit is referred to as the ‘64K reference limit’.

Hi a’m using version 1.4.4.
gradle — 4.5-all
Initting

But always at compiling getting same error

What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ‘:app:transformDexArchiveWithExternalLibsDexMergerForDevDebug’.
java.lang.RuntimeException: com.android.builder.dexing.DexArchiveMergerException: Unable to merge dex

But when i compile without objectbrowser — there’s no any problem

Objectbox is using in android module (apply plugin: ‘com.android.library’) . What problem can be?

Edit: for those finding this issue with the same problem: make sure your projects do not have conflicting dependencies of objectbox-android and objectbox-android-objectbrowser .

This error likely occurred because your project has multiple libraries that want to add the same file.

• Try updating gradle-retrolambda to 3.7.0 which adds support for Android Gradle Plugin 3.0.0.

To determine the actual cause, run the compile task with stack trace output and look for the original exception error message.

Error while merging dex archives #81

Comments

vuaridel commented May 5, 2019

I get the following error with the latest plugins while building android version:
Error while merging dex archives:
D8: Program type already present: android.support.v4.app.FrameMetricsAggregator$FrameMetricsApi24Impl$1

apparently its caused by duplicate classes as explained in the log message with an invitation to «Learn how to resolve the issue at » https://developer.android.com/studio/build/dependencies#duplicate_classes

If I remove cordova-plugin-firebase-messaging the build is always OK. But keeping cordova-plugin-firebase-messaging, I have tried to remove other plugins but always get similar «Error while merging dex archives». However with different details:
D8: Program type already present: android.arch.core.util.Function
D8: Program type already present: android.support.v4.content.FileProvider$SimplePathStrategy
D8: Program type already present: android.support.v4.app.FrameMetricsAggregator$FrameMetricsApi24Impl$1

The other plugins that I am using:
cordova-plugin-device
cordova-plugin-file
cordova-plugin-actionsheet
cordova-plugin-file-transfer
cordova-plugin-geolocation
cordova-plugin-inappbrowser
cordova-plugin-network-information
cordova-plugin-splashscreen
cordova-plugin-vibration
cordova-plugin-badge
cordova-plugin-whitelist
phonegap-plugin-barcodescanner
cordova-plugin-contacts
cordova-plugin-calendar
cordova-plugin-geolocation
cordova-plugin-dialogs
cordova-plugin-buildinfo
cordova-plugin-android-permissions
uk.co.workingedge.phonegap.plugin.launchnavigator
cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-googlemap
cordova-plugin-firebase-messaging

When I run instrumentation tests from terminal using ./gradlew clean app:connectedDebugAndroidTest using Kaspresso dependency, Gradle shows me an error:

To fix the issue you need to exclude androidx.core:core transitive dependency from androidTest «com.kaspersky.android-components:kaspresso:$» :

@ultraon thank you for your research!
@RuslanMingaliev please keep in mind

RuslanMingaliev commented Jun 15, 2021

@ultraon which Gradle version do you use in your project?

ultraon commented Jun 15, 2021

Gradle — 6.7.1, Android Gradle Plugin — 4.2.1

ultraon commented Jun 15, 2021

It is worth to mention, without the fix #258 (comment) it is built successfully, but need to run the same cmd 2nd time ./gradlew app:connectedDebugAndroidTest (but without clean ).

el-qq commented Nov 29, 2021 •

Faced a similar problem when upgrading from 1.3 to 1.4
Gradle — 6.5 \ Android Gradle Plugin — 4.1.3

any idea how to fix this problem? (excluding fix from #258 (comment) )
UPD: helped change compileSdkVersion 30 to 31
