DexOverflowException: Cannot fit requested classes in the main-dex file

Question

I have quite big multi module, multi flavor multidex project, but recently I got error when trying to do command line build (assemble{flavor}Release)

Message is:

Answer 1

What actually happening here is you are crossing the dex method count 65536 (which means you can use only 65536 methods in your apk) and you are just 12 methods ahead
