We have a React Native app where after upgrading to Android Studio 3.6.1 and Gradle plugin 3.6.1 we are seeing this compilation error:
Type androidx.appcompat.resources.R$dimen is defined multiple times: /Users/andrew/Software/project/android/app/build/intermediates/project_dex_archive/productionRelease/out/androidx/appcompat/resources/R$dimen.dex, /Users/andrew/Software/project/android/app/build/intermediates/project_dex_archive/productionRelease/out/15bdf8225afad69777cd7f9bd328ab094900c8289014e0107b56c5c62099dfea_3.jar:classes.dex

Igor Montella's comment to my question fixed the problem - downgrade to gradle plugin 3.5.0.
