Question

i am trying android WorkManager, The code is throwing error \"More than one file was found with OS independent path \'META-INF/proguard/androidx-annotations.pro

Answer 1

Can use add in build.gradle(app) (answered by TheStrikeBone)

android {
    packagingOptions {
        exclude 'META-INF/proguard/androidx-annotations.pro'
    }
}

OR downgrade android.arch.work version into 1.0.0-alpha08

dependencies {
    implementation 'android.arch.work:work-runtime:1.0.0-alpha08'
}
