Android apk build error

Please help me resolve the following issue.

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithMultidexlistForDebug'.
> java.io.IOException: Can't write [C:\...\app\build\intermediates\multi-dex\debug\componentClasses.jar] (Can't read [C:\...\app\build\intermediates\transforms\desugar\debug\69.jar] (Duplicate zip entry [69.jar:org/intellij/lang/annotations/Flow.class]))

I depend on only some Play Services libraries as follows:

// Play services
compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:${rootProject.ext.playServicesVersion}"
compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-places:${rootProject.ext.playServicesVersion}"
//Firebase
compile "com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:${rootProject.ext.playServicesVersion}"
Solution

  • I had a kotlin conflict with an annotation library. Replacing it with com.google.support.annotations did the trick for me.
