TransformException duplicate entry for common.annotations.Beta

Question

This started when I added google-api-services-calendar. I am getting this error when trying to build:

Error:Execution failed for task \':app:tra         


        

Answer 1

Exclude group: 'com.google.guava' from play services related dependencies.

For example:

compile ('com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.1.0'){
    exclude group: 'com.google.guava'
}

P.S. Before getting your error I've faced with a lot of different, so my final dependencies list is:

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])

    // Google
    compile 'com.google.dagger:dagger:2.0'
    apt 'com.google.dagger:dagger-compiler:2.0'

Answer 2

I found the reason to be the incorrectly configured dagger-compiler:

compile 'com.google.dagger:dagger-compiler:2.1'

What I had done is to modify project' build.gradle:

buildscript {
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.neenbedankt.gradle.plugins:android-apt:1.8'
    }
}

And later the application build.gradle:

First, add plugin:

apply plugin: 'com.neenbedankt.android-apt'

And later modify the dependency to:

apt "com.google.dagger:dagger-compiler:2.1"

Answer 3

I got this error when I had different versions of play services libs in my app module and a library module.
