For me the solution was to delete the gradle cache folder   gradle caches  in the home directory and build again  Possibly due to a duplicate class loading issue

In my case I had 2 projects A and B  And I upgraded to gradle 4 5   A was dependent on B but both had references of my 3rd party jar  I was getting this error     com android tools r8 errors CompilationError  Program type already   present  com mnox webservice globals WebServiceLightErrorHashCode           Program type already present  com mnox webservice globals WebServiceLightErrorHashCode      To fix it   I removed the duplicate jar s I used api in the B build gradle file so that it gets referred to in A    The other root cause can be if you have upgraded to gradle 4 5 and used implementation instead of api in your commons build gradle

Check Whether multidex enabled or not in your build gradle app level  under dependencies if not place like below  dependecies  multidexEnabled true     Check your gradle properties app level  if you see the below code    org gradle jvmargs -Xmx2048m -XX MaxPermSize 512m XX  HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -Dfile encoding UTF-8   remove   before the line  then it should be like this  org gradle jvmargs -Xmx2048m -XX MaxPermSize 512m XX  HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -Dfile encoding UTF-8

Please Add this into your gradle file  android       defaultConfig               multiDexEnabled true           AND also add the below dependency in your gradle  dependencies     compile  com android support multidex 1 0 1      OR another option would be  In your manifest file add the MultiDexApplication package from the multidex support library in the application tag    lt  xml version  1 0  encoding  utf-8   gt   lt manifest xmlns android  http   schemas android com apk res android      package  com example android multidex myapplication  gt       lt application                     android name  android support multidex MultiDexApplication  gt                   lt  application gt   lt  manifest gt

Or you can try this -   Extend your Application class with MultiDexApplication instead of Application

Just worth mentioning that while others suggest tempering with files  I was able to resolve this issue by installing a missing plugin  ionic framework   Hopefully it helps someone   cordova plugin add cordova-support-google-services --save

i have tried this one and it worked for me  hope it works for others too    Open build gradle module file downgrade you sdkversion from 25 to 24 or 23 add  multiDexEnabled true  comment this line   compile  com android support appcompat-v7 25 1 0   if it s in  dependencies   Sync your project and ready to go    Here i have attached screenshot to explain things  Go through this steps  happy to help   thanks

This can be because of following reason    one of the jar files inside project was using an older version of google play services  use multiDexEnabled true in defaultconfig Be specific with classes you add in dependencies  like   compile  com google android gms play-services-maps 8 4 0    Not like compile  com google android gms play-services

Thank  Ironman for his complete answer  however I should add my solution according to what I ve experienced facing this issue   In build gradle  Module  app    compile  com android support multidex 1 0 1                dexOptions               javaMaxHeapSize  4g                          defaultConfig               multiDexEnabled true         Also  put the following in gradle properties file   org gradle jvmargs -Xmx4096m -XX  MaxPermSize  512m -XX   HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -Dfile encoding  UTF-8   I should mention  these numbers are for my laptop config  MacBook Pro with 16 GB RAM  therefore please edit them as your config

i have tried this one for more projects and it worked for me  note that solution can configure your app for multidex   android        compileSdkVersion 25      buildToolsVersion  25 0 1        defaultConfig                             minSdkVersion 9            targetSdkVersion 25              buildTypes             release                 shrinkResources true               minifyEnabled true               proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile  proguard-android txt     proguard-rules txt                        dependencies          compile  com android support support-v4 25 1 0         compile  com google android gms play-services 8 3 0
