IONIC/Cordova - Execution failed for task ':transformClassesWithDexForArmv7Debug [duplicate]

I get the error com.android.dex.DexException: Multiple dex files define Lcom/google/android/gms/internal/zzau; when i run my app

How do i fix this? i guess the error occurs because i use google play services in both the module and the app. but the versions are different. is that causing an issue?

I had similar problem and your question helped me solve mine and probably will help you solve yours. Problem is that you have defined:
dependencies {
...
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-cast:7.5.0'
}
and
dependencies {
...
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:7.0.+'
...
}
Since google services 7.5.0, if you're using single modules from play services you can't use whole play services as dependency simultaneously. Solution is to select only those services that you need instead of whole package e.g.:
instead of
dependencies {
...
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:7.0.+'
...
}
use
dependencies {
...
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:7.0.+'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:7.0.+'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:7.0.+'
...
}
Also I'm not sure but probably it would be good idea to use the same version of google services in both gradle configs.

I had a similar problem after building using phonegap/cordova:
com.android.dex.DexException: Multiple dex files define Lcom/google/android/gms/internal/zzsk;
I fixed it by editing build.gradle(module Android), as I had 2 libraries that should have the exact same version with different version numbers (8.4.0 and 9.2.1 in my case)
dependencies{
....
//make sure are both same version (8.4.0 or 9.2.1 in my case)
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:9.2.1'
// this is the one I changed: compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:8.4.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:9.2.1' // it was 8.4.0
....
}

Firebase Android SDKs now have independent version numbers, allowing
for more frequent, flexible updates.
Update all your Firebase dependencies to the latest version (as of 2 May 2018):
Firebase Core com.google.firebase:firebase-core:15.0.2
Ads com.google.firebase:firebase-ads:15.0.0
Analytics com.google.firebase:firebase-analytics:15.0.2
App Indexing com.google.firebase:firebase-appindexing:15.0.0
Authentication com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:15.1.0
Cloud Firestore com.google.firebase:firebase-firestore:16.0.0
Cloud Functions com.google.firebase:firebase-functions:15.0.0

I encountered the same issue after manually adding Firebase to my app.
For me the solution was changing:
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.2.0'
to:
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.0.0'
in the root-level build.gradle file.

If this is happening with react-native-device-info, you can only change from:
compile(project(':react-native-device-info'))
to
compile(project(':react-native-device-info')) {
exclude group: 'com.google.android.gms'
}
As described here:
https://github.com/rebeccahughes/react-native-device-info/blob/81b0c20fab8a10ccf0341dbd6710d7a5915b06a6/README.md#troubleshooting

Had the same issue while integrating firebase. For my case, it was caused by version mismatch.
on the app gradle, i had:
ext {
PLAY_SERVICES_VERSION = '10.2.0'
}
dependencies {
compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:$PLAY_SERVICES_VERSION"
compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:$PLAY_SERVICES_VERSION"
compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-places:$PLAY_SERVICES_VERSION"
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-database:10.0.1'
}
the firebase dependancy was added through the integrated firebase plugin in Android studio. When i matched the versions, it worked.

I had this issue recently, the reason was the version difference:
'com.google.firebase:firebase-ads:9.0.6'
'com.google.firebase:firebase-crash:11.0.2'
so make sure you have the same version.

I had the same problem but mine was cause by firebase-ui newest version 2.0.0. So I downgraded to 1.2.0 and added the following line to Project level build.gradle file:
allprojects {
repositories {
jcenter()
// Add the following code
maven {
url 'https://maven.fabric.io/public'
}
}
}

My project is a cordova ionic1 project, I spent a full night and morning to solve this issue, this is what I did beacuse i was having firebase dependencies and google services:
Go to this file :
platforms\android\cordova-plugin-firebase\cordova-plugin-firebase\app-build.gradle
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
// classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.0.0'
// i changed the above line from 3.0.0 to 3.1.1
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.1.1'
}
}
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
compile 'me.leolin:ShortcutBadger:1.1.4#aar'
//compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-crash:+'
// i changed the above line from + to 11.0.2
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-crash:11.0.2'
}
Then Go to this file:
platforms\android\project.properties
Originally i was having this
target=android-26
android.library.reference.1=CordovaLib
cordova.gradle.include.1=cordova-plugin-firebase/app-build.gradle
cordova.system.library.1=com.google.gms:google-services:+
cordova.system.library.2=com.google.firebase:firebase-core:+
cordova.system.library.3=com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:+
cordova.system.library.4=com.google.firebase:firebase-crash:+
cordova.system.library.5=com.google.firebase:firebase-config:+
cordova.system.library.6=com.android.support:support-v4:24.1.1+
cordova.system.library.7=com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:11.+
cordova.system.library.8=com.google.android.gms:play-services-identity:11.+
Then i commented out the google services as we need specific dependencies and I also put the versions for firebase and gms to the same version number of 11.0.2
so after my file looks like this
target=android-26
android.library.reference.1=CordovaLib
cordova.gradle.include.1=cordova-plugin-firebase/app-build.gradle
# cordova.system.library.1=com.google.gms:google-services:+
cordova.system.library.2=com.google.firebase:firebase-core:11.0.2
cordova.system.library.3=com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:11.0.2
cordova.system.library.4=com.google.firebase:firebase-crash:11.0.2
cordova.system.library.5=com.google.firebase:firebase-config:11.0.2
cordova.system.library.6=com.android.support:support-v4:24.1.1+
cordova.system.library.7=com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:11.0.2
cordova.system.library.8=com.google.android.gms:play-services-identity:11.0.2

If anyone had the same issues as mine, I removed the firebase-core dependency and it worked like a charm.
dependencies{
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:15.0.0'
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:15.0.0'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-crash:15.0.0'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:15.0.0'
}
to
dependencies{
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:15.0.0'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-crash:15.0.0'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:15.0.0'
}

I was having this issue and none of the solutions worked. What worked for me was adding this plugin
cordova plugin add cordova-android-play-services-gradle-release --save
and then in both /platforms/android/cordova-plugin-fcm/ and /platforms/android/cordova-plugin-open/ replace
apply plugin: com.google.gms.googleservices.GoogleServicesPlugin
with:
ext.postBuildExtras = {
apply plugin: com.google.gms.googleservices.GoogleServicesPlugin
}

If anyone else comes across this issue in Ionic removing and re-adding the platform worked for me:
> ionic cordova rm platform android
> ionic cordova add platform android

For anyone wondering how to fix this for Apache Cordova plugins, I fixed this problem by ensuring all plugin.xml files include the same major and minor version, but latest revision, like this:
<framework src="com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:15.0.+" />
<framework src="com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:15.0.+" />
When using 15.0.0 above, the com.android.dex.DexException error was raised for some reason. By using + for the revision number (which means, latest), everything worked perfectly with cordova 7.1.0 and cordova-android 6.3.0.
Remember to remove and re-add the android platform after editing plugin.xml from plugins, otherwise your changes won't be applied at all!
Also: Ensure only ONE gradle file is applying this, just in case:
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:+'
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.0.0'
}

I was also having this issue, I tried many ways to solve this issue. What worked for me was removing following line from my gradle.
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.3'
At first I have both firebase-core and firebase-ml-vision (what I need was only firebase-ml-vision) like following.
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-ml-vision:17.0.0'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.3'
After I remove the line I got following warning,
Warning: The app gradle file must have a dependency on
com.google.firebase:firebase-core for Firebase services to work as
intended.
But, according to official docs the core dependency can be absent (https://firebase.google.com/docs/ml-kit/android/detect-faces), so it can be ignored.

duplicate entry: com/android/volley/AuthFailureError.class while compiling project in android studio

I am using external libraries payu money sdk and linkedin-sdk, both uses volley libraries, which while compiling project gives duplicate entry of AuthFailureError.class
Error:Execution failed for task ':app:packageAllDebugClassesForMultiDex'.
java.util.zip.ZipException: duplicate entry: com/android/volley/AuthFailureError.class"
i have also added following code to exclude module, but still same error
configurations{
all*.exclude module: 'com.android.volley'
}
please help

I stumbled upon this same error, and after reading this, I was able to solve it.
Try adding this line inside your app dir build.gradle file -
android{
configurations {
all*.exclude group: 'com.android.volley'
}}
Hope this helps.

I had this problem when I tried to generate the APK (release) and I solved it changing the linkedin-sdk build.gradle:
From:
dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:support-annotations:20.0.0'
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:21.0.+'
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile files('libs/volley.jar')
androidTestCompile('junit:junit:4.12') }
To:
dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:support-annotations:20.0.0'
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:21.0.+'
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile 'com.android.volley:volley:1.0.0'
androidTestCompile('junit:junit:4.12') }

Add multiDexEnabled true in the defaultConfig section of your gradle file
Then,
compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1' in your dependencies
Finally add below in your application class:
#Override
protected void attachBaseContext(Context base) {
super.attachBaseContext(base);
MultiDex.install(this);
}
Also, check if you are using volley.jar in your libs folder. If so, delete that jar file, and compile again. Sometimes, jar dependencies conflicts with those compiled using remote source.

This is an example how to exclude classes in dependencies when there is duplicate entry in gradle.
compile ('com.google.api-client:google-api-client-android:1.17.0-rc') {
exclude module: 'httpclient'
}
or try with your way just add some more text
configurations {
all*.exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-v4'
}
So, now what you have to do is
Search CTRL+SHIFT+N in android studio for the class AuthFailureError.class
See which jar contains this and remove it like above (This is just as an example/You have to figure out the duplicate class and manually remove it)

just remove the duplicate jar file(note:use new version,delete old version) for importing "com.android.volley.AuthFailureError" in build.gradle. Then clean project and rebuild project and then run you will get result.

I had the similar issue while making build on Jenkins, weirdly it was working fine on my local machine. After adding below exclude it worked both on local machine and Jenkins.
android{
configurations {
all*.exclude group: 'com.android.volley'
}}
I have added configurations block to my app's build.gradle inside android section.
If it matter's Compile SDK version is 22 and Build Tools version is 25.0.0
This worked like a charm.

Okay I got my answer
On mac instead of control n, it is command 0 and the command i needed was
configurations {
all*.exclude module: 'volley-release'
}

Just remove your volley library from dependancy.
Try clean and rebuild project it works for me.
Ex. payusdk are also implementing volley library so that is the reason exception shows duplicate entry. I hope it works. because i also found this error and i do these things it works.
Thanks.

Use the below command in Android studio terminal to get the dependency conflict data - [Replace with your app Name]
./gradlew -q :<app>:dependencyInsight --dependency volley --configuration compile
If you are using latest Volley library from android [https://github.com/google/volley/releases], add below two lines in your build.gradle file under each of the compile library entries that has conflict.
Ex:
compile('com.xyz:abc:1.1.0-RELEASE') {
exclude module: 'library'
exclude group: 'com.mcxiaoke.volley'
}

Android Studio - MavenCentral dependency sync ok, but symbol cannot be resolved

So, I managed to create an Android library component and publish it on Maven Central. But when I'm trying to use it as a dependency in a new project, Android Studio can't seem to find the classes.
build.gradle for the app module:
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.0.3'
compile 'no.hyper:libdateintervalpicker:1.0.0' //this is the one I want to use
}
This part seems to work, at least I get no sync errors. However, when trying to access to package and classes from my MainActivity, Android Studio can't find them and gives me "cannot resolve symbol" message.
I have tried downloading the classes.jar from the archive directly from Maven Central, and they are indeed in the package.
Other dependencies seem to appear in the /build/intermediates/exploded-aar folder after syncing, but that does not happen to my library.
I use Android Studio 1.0.2 on OSX 10.9.5 (Mavericks)
Any suggestions?

Looking in your pom, it states <packaging>aar.asc</packaging>. It should be aar instead.

Oh, and the answer to actually being able to use the library, was to add #aar to the dependency so that it now reads
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.0.3'
compile 'no.hyper:libdateintervalpicker:1.0.0#aar' //note the magic #aar
}
Edit:
Removing the block
configurations {
archives {
extendsFrom configurations.default
}
}
makes Gradle generate the pom with the correct packaging entry, and thus makes it possible to reference the dependency without the #aar suffix

gradle dependency error in android

In the following build.gradle, I added the configuration section to avoid double inclusion of support libraries. Support libraries are used in the main project and in the dependent projects like facebook sdk. Without the configuration section, I get "UNEXPECTED TOP-LEVEL EXCEPTION". Adding that configuration makes the error go away and the app all works fine.
Now, I'm trying to add RecyclerView to my app and I get RecyclerView class not found while inflating the recyclerview (although it builds ok). If I remove the facebook SDK and configuration section, the recyclerview works just fine.
Question: What changes can I make to the build.gradle to make the facebook SDK work and RecyclerView work? In other words, why is the config section excluding v7 when it is only supposed to exclude v4?
dependencies {
compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:+'
compile 'com.android.support:support-v13:+'
compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:+'
compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:+'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:4.4.52'
compile project(':facebook-3.15')
compile project(':parse-1.5.1')
compile project(':viewpagerindicator-2.4.1')
}
configurations {
// to avoid double inclusion of support libraries
all*.exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-v4'
}

If you're having a dependency conflict with the v4 support library, you can just exclude it from one of the libraries via the gradle script:
compile ('com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:+') {
exclude module: 'support-v4'
}

I fixed that adding:
compile ('com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:3.22.0#aar'){
exclude module: 'support-v4'
}

Found a solution to this:
Removed the config section in the build.gradle that excludes support-v4
It turns out that .aar files are basically a zip, so removed the support-v4 jar from the dependency .aar library (using 7-zip).
And now, I don't get the top-level exception and at the same time able to use recyclerview-v7.
If you are using dependency projects instead of .aar files, try removing the support-v4.jar files in the dependency projects before compiling.
Shouldn't the gradle build tool be intelligent enough to exclude the duplicate packages rather than having the users go thru this kind of workarounds and headaches?

Gradle: Error: more than one library with package name 'com.google.android.gms'

What does this error message mean? I don't have duplicated packages in my project
Error:Execution failed for task ':SimpleReader:processDebugResources'.
Error: more than one library with package name 'com.google.android.gms'
You can temporarily disable this error with
android.enforceUniquePackageName=false However, this is temporary and
will be enforced in 1.0
My build.gradle looks like this:

compile files('libs/protocol-1.0.4.jar')
compile files('libs/sentry-0.1.4.jar')
compile files('libs/commons-lang-2.3.jar')
}

In my case, the problem was because I was including:
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-wearable:+'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:4.4.52'
both the wearable play services, and the regular.
I commented out the wearable part, and it works.
Not sure if I'll need it, but it was included by default by the project wizard

today I met the same problem. I need to use Google Analytics, so I import google analytics lib following the tutorial:
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-analytics:9.0.0'
then compile the project, gradle tell me Error: more than one library with package name 'com.google.android.gms'
I can definitely sure that I only directly import com.google.android.gms one time by google analytics lib.
so I navigate to Project tab in Android Studio to see what are the libs this project depend on, then I found play-services-6.5.87 display in External Libraries, like following screenshot:
so now I know there is another lib depend on play-services-6.5.87, but I don't which lib it is.
then I use a gradle command in console to see the project dependencies:
$ ./gradlew -q app:dependencies
the result tells me that com.facebook.android:audience-network-sdk:4.6.0 depend on it.
so how we fix this problem, two way:
if you don't need this audience-network-sdk, just remove it. my project in fact doesn't need it.
if you also need audience-network-sdk and google-analytics, use exclude group grammar, like following snippet code.
//facebook SDK
compile ('com.facebook.android:audience-network-sdk:4.6.0')
{exclude group: 'com.google.android.gms'}
// google analytics
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-analytics:9.0.0'
in your case, the audience-network-sdk can be any other lib that depends on same lib with other libs. here is just a thinking of how to resolve similar problems.

Try removing compile project(':libraries:googleplayservices') or compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:4.2.42'. I am pretty sure they are the same library.

I faced similar issue, i got it resolved by following steps:
ionic platform rm android
ionic platform add android
ionic build android

this is a problem with versions. if you have multiple dependencies of same package path ensure the versions are the same
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:8.4.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:8.4.0'

I had confused with this problem for a long time.My issue is little different with the question though same error log. I want my sublib's buildtype same with my application's buildtype. So I assigned the buildtype for sublib as the document tells me.
[Gradle Plugin User Guide][1]
This the error I got.
processing flavorCustomResource
Error: more than one library with com.xxx.libCommon
This is my structure. lib1 and lib2 are independent of each other.
app
-> lib1 -> libCommon
-> lib2 -> libCommon
I got the error only when I build my custom buildtype.However, The release version was Ok.
More details. some parts of my build.gradle
app:
android {
buildTypes {
release{}
custom{}
}
}
configurations {
flavorReleaseCompile
flavorCustomCompile
}
dependencies{
compile project(':lib1')
flavorReleaseCompile project(path: ':lib2', configuration: ':release')
flavorCustomCompile project(path: ':lib2', configuration: ':custom')
}
lib1:
android {
publishNonDefault true
buildTypes {
release{}
custom{}
}
}
dependencies{
releaseCompile project(path: ':libCommon', configuration: ':release')
customCompile project(path: ':libCommon', configuration: ':custom')
}
lib2
dependencies {
compile project(':libCommon')
}
Solution: configure the lib2 as lib1. the problem will be solved.
lib2:
android {
publishNonDefault true
buildTypes {
release{}
custom{}
}
}
dependencies{
releaseCompile project(path: ':libCommon', configuration: ':release')
customCompile project(path: ':libCommon', configuration: ':custom')
}
Reason
The problem is something about Library Publication
The default publish is release. if lib2 is not configured, it will use the default publish libCommon(release version) which is different from lib1 -> libCommon(custom version) assigned by lib1's build.gradle.This comes the error.
I wish my post will help someone struggle with the same issue or give some hint to him/her.
