Gradle build error Error converting bytecode to dex:Cause: com.android.dex.DexException:Multiple dex files define Landroid/arch/lifecycle/liveData$1

Question

From last 3 days I\'m getting this error and have tried all i could. Can anyone help me correct it. I\'m using Android 3.0 and my sdk and Google play services are updated as wel

Answer 1

I've just met the same issue and fixed it by updating the version of lifecycle library:

implementation 'android.arch.lifecycle:runtime:1.1.0'
implementation 'android.arch.lifecycle:extensions:1.1.0'
implementation 'android.arch.lifecycle:compiler:1.1.0'

It seems that another library using in my project declare the version 1.1.0, but i was using 1.0.0.
