DexArchiveBuilderException: Failed to process /xxx/.gradle/caches/transforms-1/files-1.1/play-services-location-11.2.2.aar

问题

When I try to compile my project I get this weird error:

What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':android:transformClassesWithDexBuilderForProdDevelopmentDebug'.

com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: com.android.builder.dexing.DexArchiveBuilderException: com.android.builder.dexing.DexArchiveBuilderException: Failed to process /Users/.../.gradle/caches/transforms-1/files-1.1/play-services-location-11.2.2.aar/f5b9886774f73d8b64cfd9701f91e8cc/jars/classes.jar

What I tried:

1. Added multiDexEnabled true to app gradle.
2. Added android.enableD8.desugaring = true and android.enableD8=true to gradle.properties
3. Also removed .gradle folder and did rebuild + clean
4. Also did the following: SDK manager -> Google play services -> updated. Rebuild + clean afterwards.

projectxxx which was implemented has these dependencies:

回答1:

You are using all play-services with versions 15.x.x, and error is mentioning 11.2.2, this means that some other library is bringing in this dependency.

This type of error can be solved by following steps:

1. run ./gradlew :app:dependencies command in terminal. (This will generate dependency hierarchy)

2. Check for the dependency bringing in play-services-location dependency and exclude it from that dependency like below:

   compile ('<dependency-bringing-play-services-location>') {
     exclude  group:'com.google.android.gms'
   }
   

3. Add play-services location dependency explicitly.
