Got the same problem.. just clean the project, then make it and finally run it

Answer 2

I believe you should try turning multiDexEnabled false and get rid of the compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:8.4.0' . You have two play-services which forces you to turn multiDexEnabled to true

Answer 3

Change this line

<uses-permission
android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.permission.C2D_MESSAGE"
android:protectionLevel="signature" />

with this

<permission android:name="<your-package-name>.permission.C2D_MESSAGE"
    android:protectionLevel="signature" />
<uses-permission android:name="<your-package-name>.permission.C2D_MESSAGE" />

Also i see a lot of anomaly in your manifest with respect to how you have declared GCM . Have a look at the technical docs.

Answer 4

I look into my code many time, and I look at each library I am using and I was able to fix it.

First, like @BrainMiz said mutiDexEnabled should set it off. I just comment it instead of set it as false.

defaultConfig {
     applicationId "com.package.name"
     minSdkVersion 16
     targetSdkVersion 23
     versionCode 1
     versionName "1.0"
     //multiDexEnabled true
}

Second, it is the dependencies. Since I don't have any jar in my libs folder I remove

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

also remove all not being used gms library, only add the one that being used. I have to give some credits to @Radix because I did found some error in my code regarding to the code that where I check if the device has google play store.

dependencies {
    //compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'

    compile 'org.twitter4j:twitter4j-core:4.0.2'
    compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1'
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1'
    //compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.4.0'
    compile 'com.android.support:design:23.1.1'
    compile 'com.squareup.okhttp:okhttp:2.5.0'
    //compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:23.1.1'
    compile 'com.squareup.picasso:picasso:2.5.2'
    compile 'com.isseiaoki:simplecropview:1.0.8'
    compile 'com.qozix:tileview:2.0.7'
    compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:23.1.1'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:8.4.0'
}

Answer 5

I had the same issue

Had in gradle.build dependencies :

compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.0'

And in AndroidManifest.xml :

<application
        ...
        android:name="android.support.multidex.MultiDexApplication">

Answer 6

Having same issue and was stuck for a whole day. Finally got solution.

Add in your app level gradle.build:

repositories {
  jcenter()
}

dependencies {
  compile 'com.google.android:multidex:0.1'
}

Then override attachBaseContext in your Application class like below:

@Override
protected void attachBaseContext(Context base) {
    super.attachBaseContext(base);
    MultiDex.install(this);
}

And don't forgot to enable mutlidex support as below:

android {
    ...
    defaultConfig {
        ...
        multiDexEnabled true
    }
}
