Unable to merge dex error in android studio 3.0

I am looking for the answer that can help me to solve this problem. I am trying to solve this problem for last 2 days.But still, I didn't get the answer that can solve my problem. I have tried so many solutions which are given here.But no solution worked for me.
Please help me to solve this problem.Any help will be appreciated.
The actual problem is:
Error:Execution failed for task
':app:transformDexArchiveWithExternalLibsDexMergerForGlobalServerDebug'.
java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.RuntimeException: com.android.builder.dexing.DexArchiveMergerException: Unable to merge dex
this is occurring every time when I run my existing project on android studio 3.0
I have tried so many solutions for this like:
1- To add mutidexenabled true in gradle
2- To change the version of dependencies
3- To change the compile keyword with the implementation
4- To clean and rebuild the project
5- Delete the Gradle file(this was so difficult because when you again
restarted the project no Gradle file will be auto-regenerated) etc.
I am looking for the solutions which are other than those which are mentioned above. Please help me out. Please...

Add this in your build.gradle
android {
defaultConfig {
multiDexEnabled true
}
}
First sync gradle then
From the Build menu -> press the Clean Project button.
When task completed, press the Rebuild Project button from the Build menu.
compile is now deprecated so it's better to use implementation or api
hope this helps you.

Try this
Use this
com.google.android.gms:play-services:11.6.0
com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:11.6.0
Instead of this
com.google.android.gms:play-services:9.8.0
after Sync -> clean -> rebuild

Keep getting Manifest Tasks does not support the manifestOutputFile property any more, please use the manifestOutputDirectory instead.

After 2 months i reopened a project that needs to be updated but i keep getting this error:
Gradle sync failed: Manifest Tasks does not support the manifestOutputFile property any more, please use the manifestOutputDirectory instead.

This was causing the error, removing it solved it.

Please give solution because i want to publish app on playstore.Thanks in advance

You are using two distinct aar or jar dependencies which includes the apache http client. That is your problem. There are some ways to inspect the content of the jar or aar file like jadx, but since you are a beginner a trail and error way should be fine too.
So first if you don't have jar dependencies please remove this line:
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
Now exclude the apache classes from your dependencies for example:
compile 'com.squareup.retrofit:retrofit:1.9.0'
needs to be converted to:
compile('com.squareup.retrofit:retrofit:1.9.0') {
exclude module: 'httpclient'
}
If it still not compile try the next dependency and so on. That should remove the duplicate classes.
Good luck!

Multidex duplicate entry with Joda Time

I am also using a library gson-jodatime-serialisers that depends on Joda. Not sure if it's causing the duplicate issue.

According to mvnrespository.com, this library depends on joda-time itself so it may be a duplicate entry

Should do the trick
