Multidex app still over 64K method limit

I'm facing a weird issue with multidex. I've had my app multidexed for a long time, but lately I can't build it anymore. It started after configuring Kotlin in the project.
The 'run' option in Android Studio works: the app runs successfully in my device. However, if I try the "Build APK" option or run gradlew assembleDebug, the build fails with the usual exception:
Error:The number of method references in a .dex file cannot exceed 64K.
Learn how to resolve this issue at https://developer.android.com/tools/building/multidex.html
Error:com.android.dex.DexIndexOverflowException: method ID not in [0, 0xffff]: 65536
However, multidex worked correctly before adding Kotlin. I can checkout the commit just before adding Kotlin, build the apk and check there's 3 .dex files, with a method count over 100k total.
Some key details:
Gradle 4.1, with Gradle plugin 3.0.1
Build-tools version 26.0.2
Kotlin version 1.2.0
After proguarding, the app does not need multidex, but I don't really want to proguard for debug compilation, and besides, this should be working.

It turned out to be a problem with the way I was including HAPI-FHIR. It's a really big library with tons of dependencies, and it probably was collapsing the main dexfile.
In the end, I solved it by replacing:
// FHIR
compile 'ca.uhn.hapi.fhir:hapi-fhir-android:3.1.0'
compile 'ca.uhn.hapi.fhir:hapi-fhir-structures-dstu3:3.1.0'
with:
// FHIR
compile 'ca.uhn.hapi.fhir:hapi-fhir-base:3.1.0#jar'
compile 'ca.uhn.hapi.fhir:hapi-fhir-utilities:3.1.0#jar'
compile 'ca.uhn.hapi.fhir:hapi-fhir-structures-dstu3:3.1.0#jar'
compile 'commons-io:commons-io:2.5'
compile 'org.slf4j:slf4j-api:1.7.25#jar'
commons-io and slf4j are runtime dependencies of HAPI, and when using #jar those dependencies aren't downloaded, so they need to be explicitly declared.
Note: this particular configuration is only valid for my use case, as HAPI has more runtime dependencies, which would need to be added manually as well in case they're needed.

Problems when running application with Jack and Retrolambda

I recently had a lot of problems trying to debug in my application when using Retrolambda, because of that I wanted to include Jack on my Gradle for debugging purposes.
jackOptions {
enabled true
}
Because of that, I have been going through this error and I still without finding a way to solve it.
Jackson : NoSuchMethodError for com.google.common.base.Preconditions.checkState
I have check different posts looking for a solution:
Android Studio: Gradle - build fails -- Execution failed for task ':dexDebug'

A larger heap for the Gradle daemon is recommended for running jack
But none of the solutions have fixed my problems. Right now my Gradle looks like:

androidTestCompile not working in Android Studio 2.1.2

I followed the instruction here to add an instrumentation test, but unfortunately Android Studio complains about the classes from the test runner package (com.android.support.test:runner:0.5) or test rules or espresso-core (cannot find symbol). If I change the dependency type from androidTestCompile to compile, the errors disappear. I created an instrumentation run config, and currently that run config is selected.

I've spent about a day on this myself and finally figured it out. This is an Android Studio feature - termed a feature, but I'd consider it a bug.
To get instrumentation tests working, you need to set your Build Variants to the following:
Test Artifact: Android Instrumentation Tests
Build Variant: debug
See here for more details
I personally think is makes no sense; it's not like you're using androidTestCompileDebug, and running gradle <app_name>:dependencies repeatedly shows pulling in androidTestCompile dependencies, regardless of the build variant. But for some reason, they only resolve in debug.
I hope this helps.

As you can see Method com.google.common.base.Strings.isNullOrEmpty can't be found.
Some specifics
I use Retrolambda 3.2.5 and Java 8. There are no other extra plugins.
Build plugin version: com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.0.0
Build tools version: 23.0.3
OS: OS X
build.gradle looks like this. I altered it slightly to not expose some private stuff, but problem is still there.

Question
Did anyone else had the same problem? How to fix it? If you need some extra information, please let me know in comments.

Have you tried the new patch on jitpack of simular issue #134 clean-build, there seemed to be something wrong with gradle import ordering you can try it with :
repositories {
maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.github.denis-itskovich:gradle-retrolambda:3.2.3-fix-134'
}

It looks like there is an error with a plugin after upgrading the Android Studio.
If you go in : <Android Studio Dir>/plugins/android/lib/builder-model-x.x.x.jar you may find 2 .jars. Try to delete the old version .jar and keep the new one and also clean and rebuild the project.
if the above does not work try this:
Change the version of Objectify library in the build.gradle file of your backend to 4.0b to 5.0.3 or higher if it exists.
This is may sound irrelevant but objectify 4.0b library has same classes with same package name which are present in appengine sdk like com.google.common.base.Strings.isNullOrEmpty.
when you deploy the app backend the appengine classes are overridden by objectify classes and hence when you try to call some method it is throwing error.
This is solved in objectify 5.0.+
Hope it helps as it helped me solving this issue.

No such property: bootClasspath for class: com.android.builder.core.AndroidBuilder

I'm getting an error in Android Studio 1.5.1 and I can't figure it out for the life of me. It reads,
"Error:Execution failed for task ':app:dexguardDebug'.
No such property: bootClasspath for class: com.android.builder.core.AndroidBuilder"
When running ./gradle2 debugCompile --stacktrace from the command line, it shows this:
What went wrong:
Task 'compileDebug' is ambiguous in root project 'BestWestern'.
Candidates are: 'compileDebugAidl', 'compileDebugAndroidTestAidl',
'compileDebugAndroidTestJavaWithJavac', 'compileDebugAndroidTestNdk',
'compileDebugAndroidTestRenderscript',
'compileDebugAndroidTestSources', 'compileDebugJavaWithJavac',
'compileDebugNdk', 'compileDebugRenderscript', 'compileDebugSources',
'compileDebugUnitTestJavaWithJavac', 'compileDebugUnitTestSources'.
I'm not exactly sure what to do from this point

This will be most likely caused incompatible versions of Android Gradle Plugin and DexGuard library. Try to downgrade a version of Android Gradle Plugin to 1.3.1.
Could I ask which version of DexGuard are you using?
