I know this is an old question  but I spent a couple of days looking through solutions which didn t work for me so maybe this helps someone else   My project had a plugin which was throwing an error  I had to remove the plugin and add it again  and suddenly I could make it through the build process     cordova add phonegap-plugin-push   cordova plugin add phonegap-plugin-push   I just ran the above and it was solved

Add multiDexEnabled true in your defaultConfig in the app level gradle   defaultConfig       applicationId  your application id      minSdkVersion 16     targetSdkVersion 25     versionCode 1     versionName  1 0      testInstrumentationRunner android support test runner AndroidJUnitRunner      multiDexEnabled true

The best way comes from James Riordan s answer from this thread  This can be fixed by updating to Gradle 5 5  The easiest way to do this is to update the wrapper in use    Open gradle gradle-wrapper properties Find the line that looks like   distributionUrl https    services gradle org distributions gradle-5 X X-all zip    Change the version to 5 5-all zip   Then try running the build again

By default  Android Studio has a maximum heap size of 1280MB  If you are working on a large project  or your system has a lot of RAM  you can improve performance by increasing the maximum heap size for Android Studio processes  such as the core IDE  Gradle daemon  and Kotlin daemon   If you use a 64-bit system that has at least 5 GB of RAM  you can also adjust the heap sizes for your project manually  To do so  follow these steps   Click File   Settings from the menu bar  or Android Studio   Preferences on macOS   Click Appearance  amp  Behavior   System Settings   Memory Settings   For more Info click  https   developer android com studio intro studio-config

In DefaultConfig Add multiDexEnabled   true      defaultConfig       applicationId  com test      minSdkVersion 16     targetSdkVersion 25     versionCode 1     versionName  1 0      multiDexEnabled   true     testInstrumentationRunner  android support test runner AndroidJUnitRunner

User · Answer

So  mine didn t get resolved by adding the multiDexEnabled flag  It actually was there before getting the error message   What resolved the error for me was making sure I was using the same version of all play-services libraries   In one library I had 11 8 0 but in the app that consumes the library I was using 11 6 0 and that difference was what caused the error message    So  instead of changing your libraries to a specific version like previous answers  maybe you wanna check you re using the same version all across since mixing versions is explicitly discouraged by Android Studio by warnings

add this line in your build gradle   defaultConfig                        aaptOptions cruncherEnabled   false     aaptOptions useNewCruncher   false     compileOptions encoding    ISO-8859-1      multiDexEnabled true

Just add a  multidex-config txt  in you app directory

NO NEED FOR MULTIDEX  I REPEAT  NO NEEED FOR MULTIDEX    Let me elaborate  Multidex is basically a tool that comes with Android  and if you set it to true  apps with  64 000 methods are able to compile using a slightly altered build process  However you only need to use multidex if your error looks like this      trouble writing output  Too many field references  131000  max is   65536  You may try using --multi-dex option    or like this     Conversion to Dalvik format failed  Unable to execute dex  method ID   not in  0  0xffff   65536   But that is not the case here  The problem here  for me atleast  is being caused by your build gradle file s dependencies    THE SOLUTION  Utilize specific dependencies   don t just import an entire section of dependencies   For example  if you need the Play Services dependency for location  only import it for location   DO   compile  com google android gms play-services-location 11 0 4    DON T   compile  com google android gms play-services      Another issue that could be causing this may be some sort of external library you are using  that is referencing a prior version of your dependency  Follow these steps in that case    Go to SDK manager  and install any updates to your dependencies Make sure that your build gradle file shows the latest version  To get the latest version  use this link  https   developers google com android guides setup Edit your library  or install an updated version if that exists   to reference the latest version     I know this question is old  but I need to get this answer out there  because using multidex for no reason could potentially cause ANR s for your app  ONLY use multidex if you re sure you need it  and you understand what it is    I myself spent hours trying to resolve this issue without multidex  and I just wanted to share my findings   hope this helps

For those who still use VS-TACO and have this issue  This happens due to version inconsistency of a jar files   You still need to add corrections to build gradle file in platforms android folder    defaultConfig           multiDexEnabled true       dependencies         compile  com android support multidex 1 0 3       It s better to do in build-extras gradle file  which automatically linked to build gradle file  with all your other changes if there are  and delete all in platforms android folder  but leave there only build-extras gradle file  Then just compile
