The problem is with multidex builder. Actually, this often happens when you have imported a lot of packages in your yaml file which cannot fit into a single .dex built hence you have to enable multidex.

Go to android/app/build.gradle and add the following lines of codes:

dependencies {
  implementation 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.3' //enter the latest version
}
android {
    defaultConfig {
        multiDexEnabled true
    }
}
