Change implementation fileTree(include: ['.jar'], dir: 'libs') to provided fileTree(include: ['.jar'], dir: 'libs') in your app gradle.build> dependencies.

Make sure it has changed in your Module Settings> Dependencies {include=[*jar] dir=libs} too. It must have a scope of Provided next to it and not Implementation.
