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?

greenrobot-team commented Mar 13, 2018 •

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.

/app/ and open build.gradle file

Add the following line to the defaultConfig and dependencies sections

I know it’s too late to update.I had same issue on my project.

Possible Reasons

1. If you have added module in your project and that module has support libraries or any google play services libs which has different version then your app.
2. If you are using any open source library in your project and that library internally using any of libraries that your are also using in your project.

Solutions

If it is case 1 in your project then update your library versions and make it same in your project and module.

Check your dependencies tree using below command and see if any mismatch in dependencies.

You can exclude particular module from any dependencies like below.

In above example, It will exclude the com.android.support group from consent-library dependencies.

You can also remove particular module as well.

Add an explicit dependency to play-services-auth along with your firebase-ui-auth dependency:

This is because firebase-ui-auth has a transitive dependency to play-services-auth and must be used with the corresponding version of play-services-auth . Please see this explanation.

Earlier versions of the Gradle build tool did not include transitive dependencies so now versions can conflict with other play-services versions.

My Issue Explained and Answered (In case anyone wants to know)

When you upgrade to Android Studio 3.0 and update the gradle build tool version to 3.0.0, compiling of dependencies is now done differently than in earlier versions.

I recently encountered the same issue. I was using these dependencies which worked fine through Gradle version 2.3.3:

After the upgrade to gradle-build-version 3.0.0, I got the same error. Digint into it, I found that the transitive dependency of httpmime conflicted with the file httpclient-android was including.

Description

Let me explain this in detail. Earlier, while using gradle-tool-version 2.3.3, I was using httpclient-android to fetch and use the class named org.apache.http.entity.ContentType.java Expanding the transitive dependencies of org.apache.httpcomponents:httpmime:4.3.6 showed that it has org.apache.httpcomponents:httpcore:4.3.6 which is the same package I wanted to use. But while compiling or syncing the build, it was excluding org.apache.http.entity.ContentType.java so I needed to add this dependency which includes ContentType.java :

Everything worked fine after that.

Once I upgraded the gradle-build-version to 3.0.0, things changed. It now included all transitive dependencies. So while compiling with the latest Android Studio with gradle-build-tool version 3.0.0, my ContentType.java was being compiled twice. Once from org.apache.httpcomponents:httpcore:4.3.6 (which is an implicit transitive dependency of httpmime ) and again from org.apache.httpcomponents:httpclient-android:4.3.5.1 which I was using earlier.

To resolve this issue I had to remove the existing org.apache.httpcomponents:httpclient-android:4.3.5.1 dependency as httpmime would itself fetch the relevant class required for my application.

The solution for my situation: only use required dependencies and remove the httpclient-android

Note that this is just the case for me. You’ll need to dig into your own dependencies and apply the solution accordingly.

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’.

The problem was the google-plus plugin.

welkensoyo commented Mar 25, 2018 •

This is resolved with adding

To your project.properties

jpduckwo commented Mar 27, 2018

I am using cordova-plugin-firebase and cordova-plugin-googleplus and I’m getting this issue all of a sudden when then were previously working together. @welkensoyo’s fix did not solve it for me. @csotomon did you do anything to solve it with the google-plus plugin?

Unicorn808 commented Apr 5, 2018

I have the exact same problem, and @welkensoyo’s fix didn’t work. Is there any way to have both these plugins work side by side?

mikilion commented Apr 10, 2018 •

I’m getting same issue using cordova-plugin-firebase and cordova-plugin-googleplus together.
I solved by editing ..\platforms\android\project.properties file
from:
cordova.system.library.8=com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:11.8.0 cordova.system.library.9=com.google.android.gms:play-services-identity:11.8.0
to:
cordova.system.library.8=com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:+ cordova.system.library.9=com.google.android.gms:play-services-identity:+

AFMiziara commented May 3, 2018 •

After some hours stuck on this same problem I figured out how to fix:

• go to: /plugins/cordova-plugin-firebase/src/android/build.gradle
• change:
  classpath ‘com.google.gms:google-services:3.1.0’ to
  classpath ‘com.google.gms:google-services:+’

I am using those dependencies:
cordova-android (^7.0.0)
cordova-plugin-firebase (^1.0.4)
cordova-plugin-splashscreen (^5.0.2)
cordova-plugin-statusbar(^2.4.2)

mikilion commented May 5, 2018

I definitely solved by installing the cordova-android-play-services-gradle-release plugin; avoiding to manually change plugin versions.

briquetech commented Jan 9, 2019

I had installed cordova-plugin-firebase and cordova-plugin-googleplus. As people have been explaining above, this is a play services and firebase version conflict across plugins. Hence I followed the following steps:

Assuming you have installed the conflicting plugins like FCM, Firebase alongside GooglePlus. Install the following plugins. You can decide which you must install based on your need
1.1
ionic cordova plugin add cordova-android-play-services-gradle-release
Or for specific version
ionic cordova plugin add cordova-android-play-services-gradle-release —variable PLAY_SERVICES_VERSION=15+ —fetch
1.2
ionic cordova plugin add cordova-android-support-gradle-release
1.3
ionic cordova plugin add cordova-android-firebase-gradle-release
Or for specific version
ionic cordova plugin add cordova-android-firebase-gradle-release —variable FIREBASE_VERSION=15+ —fetch

Make changes in platform > android > project.properties
Change the version of play services libraries to the following
cordova.system.library.6=com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:+
cordova.system.library.7=com.google.android.gms:play-services-identity:+

Make changes in platform > android > cordova-android-firebase-gradle-release > -cordova-android-firebase-gradle-release
Change firebase version to
def FIREBASE_VERSION = «+»

Make changes in platform > android > cordova-android-play-services-gradle-release > -cordova-android-play-services-gradle-release
Change play services version to
def PLAY_SERVICES_VERSION = «+»

Now try running the build. This works for me every single time.
Best luck.
