com.android.build.transform.api.TransformException

Question

I am trying to integrate Google sign in, in my app, I added these libraries:

compile \'com.google.android.gms:play-services-identity:8.1.0\'
compile \'com.go         


        

Answer 1

I just had to Clean my project and then it built successfully afterwards.

Answer 2

In my case the Exception occurred because all google play service extensions are not with same version as follows

 compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-plus:9.8.0'
 compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-appinvite:9.8.0'
 compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-analytics:8.3.0'

It worked when I changed this to

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-plus:9.8.0'
 compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-appinvite:9.8.0'
 compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-analytics:9.8.0'

Answer 3

This error began appearing for me when I added some new methods to my project. I knew that I was nowhere near the 65k method limit and did not want to enable multiDex support for my project if I could help it.

I resolved it by increasing the memory available to the :app:transformClassesForDexForDebug task. I did this by specifying javaMaxHeapSize in gradle.build.

gradle.build

android {
    ...
    dexOptions {
        javaMaxHeapSize "4g" //specify the heap size for the dex process
    }
}

I tried this after having had no success with other common solutions to this problem:

• Running a project clean
• Manually deleting the /app/build and /build directories from my project
• Invalidating Gradle Cache and restarting Android Studio

Error

Error:Execution failed for task > ':app:transformClassesWithDexForDebug'. com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: org.gradle.process.internal.ExecException: Process 'command '/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_45.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java'' finished with non-zero exit value 1

Note: increasing the memory available to the DEX task can cause performance problems on systems with lower memory - link.

Answer 4

the write answer is in gradle put defaultConfig { multiDexEnabled true } then application name in manifest android:name="android.support.multidex.MultiDexApplication" wish this answer is hellpful to some one

Answer 5

If the different dependencies have a same jar also cause this build error.

For example:

compile('com.a.b:library1');
compile('com.c.d:library2');

If "library1" and "library2" has a same jar named xxx.jar, this will make such an error.

Answer 6

I solved this issue by change to use latest buildToolsVersion

android {
    //...
    buildToolsVersion '26.0.2' // change from '23.0.2'
    //...
}
