com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.5.0,
org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.3.50
I got error when i rebuild project:
What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:mergeExtDexProductionDebug'.
Could not resolve all files for configuration ':app:productionDebugRuntimeClasspath'.
Failed to transform artifact 'protobuf-java.jar (com.google.protobuf:protobuf-java:3.10.0)' to match attributes {artifactType=android-dex, dexing-enable-desugaring=true, dexing-is-debuggable=true, dexing-min-sdk=23, org.gradle.usage=java-runtime-jars}.

Error while dexing.
I had google, but i can not get solution for this case
Can you help me resolve this problem?
Thanks in advance.

Solution by OP.
I solved my problem with code below:
configurations.all {
resolutionStrategy {
force("com.google.protobuf:protobuf-java:3.11.0-rc-1")
}
}

In app build.gradle file add this-
android{
.........
aaptOptions {
cruncherEnabled = false
}
................
}
Now, build, clean and rebuild project.
If still not got the solution try to downgrade your build version and again build the project.

Error: Execution failed for task app:transformClassesWithDexForDebug

I am getting this error when I'm going to build apk.
Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithDexForDebug'. > com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: org.gradle.process.internal.ExecException: Process 'command 'C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_91\bin\java.exe'' finished with non-zero exit value 3
Here's the screenshot of the error

My problem is solved by using multidex. By adding multiDexEnabled true in defaultConfig and compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.0'
in dependencies in build gradle in app and adding android:name="android.support.multidex.MultiDexApplication" in manifest. Check out screen shots 2:

Android Studio 2.0, org.gradle.process.internal.ExecException: Process 'command Error finished with non-zero exit value 3

I am experimenting with the new android studio IDE 2.0 , Project was working fine with studio 1.5 . After Migration I am geeting the following Error-
:app:transformClassesWithDexForDebug FAILED
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithDexForDebug'.
com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: org.gradle.process.internal.ExecException: Process 'command '/Users/manishpathak/AndroidStudioProjects/jdk1.7.0_80.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java'' finished with non-zero exit value 3
' BUILD FAILED
Already enabled
multiDexEnabled true
in build.gradle.
Did anyone face this issue?

Thanks All. The following solution fixed my issue- Java wanted more space to build the project. I found the java process and analysed after 1 GB, process halted. Java needs more memory.
FIXED SOLUTION: Increased the HEAP size to 2g or 4g.
android {
defaultConfig {}
dexOptions {
javaMaxHeapSize "4g"
}
packagingOptions {
}
buildTypes {
} }

i just added this ,and then its all ok and my issue was solved :
/* compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:19.1.0' */

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithDexForDebug'. On default project

I downloaded the recent version of android studio from android website. Installed it, corrected java path error and set up the SDK.
Then I created a default Hello World project and try to run it on emulator.
There was no manual change done in the project and everything was generated automatically.
When gradle build started, it failed with below error:
Error:Execution failed for task
':app:transformClassesWithDexForDebug'.
com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException:
com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException:
org.gradle.process.internal.ExecException: Process 'command
'C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0\bin\java.exe'' finished with non-zero
exit value 1
I tried enabling multiDexSupport in gradle.build file, but no luck.
Anyone can please help me with what could be wrong with default generated project .
Please help.

Post your build.gradle . Version Conflicts/Same Library calling creates this problem .
Error:Execution failed for task
':app:transformClassesWithDexForDebug'.
com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException:
com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException:
org.gradle.process.internal.ExecException: Process 'command

exit value 1
At first Add multidex in your build.gradle section
Change your Gradle build configuration to enable multidex
Clean-Rebuild-Sync
Modify your app Gradle build file configuration to include the support library and enable multidex output .
android {
compileSdkVersion 21
buildToolsVersion "21.1.0"
defaultConfig {
...
minSdkVersion 14
targetSdkVersion 21
...
// Enabling multidex support.
multiDexEnabled true
}
...
}
dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.0'
}

Execution failed for task ':transformClassesWithDexForDebug'

I've migrated to Android Studio 2.0 Preview and I'm getting, no matter what I do, :
Error:Execution failed for task ':transformClassesWithDexForDebug'.
com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException:
org.gradle.process.internal.ExecException: Process 'command

Any help indeed much appreciated!

In your build.gradle script, set the dexOptions.javaMaxHeapSize configuration to whatever value you need:
android {
//snip
//add this into your existing 'android' block
dexOptions {
javaMaxHeapSize "4g"
}
//snip
}
