I have done many clean/rebuilds/Invalidate cache/restarts but nothing helps and I dont know what else to do to fix the problem
It looks like it is related to multidex, I removed it and anything related to it and everything works fine now
Try to delete the.gradle folder and all build folders inside your project. Run clean.
