I had this problem too; and i resolved that in this way:
configurations.all {
resolutionStrategy.eachDependency { DependencyResolveDetails details ->
def requested = details.requested
if (requested.group == 'com.android.support') {
if (!requested.name.startsWith("multidex")) {
details.useVersion '26.0.1'
}
}
}
}
be careful my min SDk was 26 , you have to change it with yours!
