In my case -  What went wrong  Execution failed for task   app multiDexListDebug    Answer - I just deleted the react-native-firebase folder which will be inside the node modules folder  that s it then I could run the app successfully  And one more thing don t forget to remove react-native-firebase but not  react-native-firebase in package json file  So that next time when you run npm I or yarn  This won t get installed in your app  This package was causing the issue

Just correct Google play services dependencies   You are including all play services in your project  Only add those you want    For example   if you are using only maps and g  signin  than change   compile  com google android gms play-services 8 1 0    to   compile  com google android gms play-services-maps 8 1 0  compile  com google android gms play-services-plus 8 1 0    From the doc        In versions of Google Play services prior to 6 5  you had to compile   the entire package of APIs into your app  In some cases  doing so made   it more difficult to keep the number of methods in your app  including   framework APIs  library methods  and your own code  under the 65 536   limit       From version 6 5  you can instead selectively compile Google Play   service APIs into your app  For example  to include only the Google   Fit and Android Wear APIs  replace the following line in your   build gradle file     compile  com google android gms play-services 8 3 0  with these lines       compile  com google android gms play-services-fitness 8 3 0     compile  com google android gms play-services-wearable 8 3 0    Whole list can be found here

Possible help  Tried as absolute last resort after exhausting all other options  I removed all memory sticks  RAM  but one  I have less memory now but its working again  I can t pretend to know why the build process always found corrupted memory  or if that s 100  the root cause - in other respects the system ran fine  Maybe this is something to try  best of luck

By changing      compile  com google android gms play-services 8 1 0    to only needed files  the problem can be solved This Issue is generated because of exceeding files in th build gradle file

I had this problem when I delegated my compilation task to the Google Compute Engine via SSH  The nature of this issue is a memory error  as indicated by the crash log  specifically it is thrown when Java runs out of virtual memory to work with during the build   Important  When gradle crashes due to this memory error  the gradle daemons remain running long after your compilation task has failed  Any re-attempt to build using gradle again will allocate a new gradle daemon  You must ensure that you properly dispose of any crashed instances using gradlew --stop   The hs error pid crash logs indicates the following workarounds     There is insufficient memory for the Java Runtime Environment to continue    Possible reasons      The system is out of physical RAM or swap space     In 32 bit mode  the process size limit was hit   Possible solutions      Reduce memory load on the system     Increase physical memory or swap space     Check if swap backing store is full     Use 64 bit Java on a 64 bit OS     Decrease Java heap size  -Xmx -Xms      Decrease number of Java threads     Decrease Java thread stack sizes  -Xss      Set larger code cache with -XX ReservedCodeCacheSize    I found that after increasing the runtime resources of the virtual machine  this issue was resolved

My response is a little bit old but for my the only solution was adding multiDexEnabled option in defaultConfig like this       android                      defaultConfig                              multiDexEnabled true                   If this does not work for you try adding this piece of code       configurations all       resolutionStrategy eachDependency   DependencyResolveDetails details - gt          def requested   details requested         if  requested group     com android support                 if   requested name startsWith  multidex                      details useVersion  26 1 0                                    My error was related to a problem with different libraries versions and this made the trick    I hope this can help somebody

I had a similar error  I fixed it by just switching the directory  Cloning my project again from my git repository  importing it into android studio and building it  Seems like one of the directories files generated by Android Studio when building your project may have gotten corrupted  Deleting all Android Studio generated files in your project or doing what I did could solve the problem  Hope this helps

I solved it  It s a collection of configuration and update   Add these variables where they fit in build gradle  android   packagingOptions       exclude  META-INF ASL2 0      exclude  META-INF LICENSE      exclude  META-INF NOTICE    dexOptions       javaMaxHeapSize  4g    defaultConfig       multiDexEnabled true   compileOptions       sourceCompatibility JavaVersion VERSION 1 7     targetCompatibility JavaVersion VERSION 1 7       Then update to Java 8 http   tecadmin net install-oracle-java-8-jdk-8-ubuntu-via-ppa  and all will be solved   It s because of the buildTools update and new Android studio  Nothing else will fail

If java 8 or above is used then the problem is the libraries we use are incompatible with java 8  So to solve this add these two lines to build gradle of your app and all sub modules if any   Android studio clearly show how to do this in error message      targetCompatibility    1 7    sourceCompatibility    1 7

Try   dexOptions       javaMaxHeapSize  4g      preDexLibraries   false     I don t know the reason  Something about preDexLibraries   https   sites google com a android com tools tech-docs new-build-system tips  According to  lgdroid57    The following resource should help explain what this code does  link http   google github io android-gradle-dsl current com android build gradle internal dsl DexOptions html  Property     Description javaMaxHeapSize     Sets the -JXmx  value when calling dx  Format should follow the 1024M pattern  preDexLibraries      Whether to pre-dex libraries  This can improve incremental builds  but clean builds may be slower
