Multiple dex files define Landroid/support/v4/accessibilityservice/AccessibilityServiceInfoCompat

Question

If I run gradle assembleDebug from the command line, I am suddenly getting this error:

UNEXPECTED TOP-LEVEL EXCEPTION:
com.android.dx.util.DexEx         


        

Answer 1

I was able to solve the problem in my react native project by simply adding

configurations {
        all*.exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-compat'
        all*.exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-core-ui'
    }

at the end of my android\app\build.gradle file
