com.android.builder.dexing.DexArchiveMergerException: Unable to merge dex

[lxknvlk]

This library produces next error when added to gradle:

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformDexArchiveWithExternalLibsDexMergerForDebug'.

java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.RuntimeException: com.android.builder.dexing.DexArchiveMergerException: Unable to merge dex

Android Studio 3.0 this is my gradle file:

dependencies { implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar']) implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.1.0' implementation 'com.android.support:design:26.1.0' compile "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jre7:$kotlin_version" compile "org.jetbrains.anko:anko:$anko_version" implementation 'com.parse:parse-android:1.16.3' implementation 'com.github.tgio:parse-livequery:1.0.3' }

Fixed by excluding the okhttp library from other imports

compile ('com.parse:parse-android:1.16.3'){
    exclude group: "com.squareup.okhttp3"
}

It worked with packagingOptions{ exclude 'META-INF/rxjava.properties' } added to gradle file.

I have the same problem, I tested both options: compile ('com.parse:parse-android:1.16.3'){ exclude group: "com.squareup.okhttp3" }

and packagingOptions{ exclude 'META-INF/rxjava.properties' }

None worked for me. This is my gradle file:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android { compileSdkVersion 27 buildToolsVersion '26.0.2' defaultConfig { applicationId "com.yadercenteno.proyecto" minSdkVersion 14 targetSdkVersion 27 versionCode 24 versionName "1.15" testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner" }

buildTypes {
    release {
        minifyEnabled false
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
    }
}

}

Try something like below: implementation ('com.parse:parse-android:1.+',{ exclude group: "com.squareup.okhttp3" }) implementation ('com.github.tgio:parse-livequery:1.0.3', { exclude group: 'com.parse', module: 'parse-android' })
