I'm having this error whilst compiling Instrumentation tests.

Error:com.android.builder.dexing.DexArchiveBuilderException: Failed to process /Users/rafaelruizmunoz/SourceTree/Weather/app/build/intermediates/transforms/desugar/androidTest/debug/1.jar

Error:com.android.builder.dexing.DexArchiveBuilderException: Error while dexing org/assertj/core/api/LongPredicateAssert.class

Error:com.android.dx.cf.code.SimException: default or static interface method used without --min-sdk-version >= 24

I tried to enable/disable multiDexEnabled in my build.gradle but nothing helped.

My android of build.gradle:

android {     compileSdkVersion 27     defaultConfig {         applicationId "com.**.weather"         minSdkVersion 16         targetSdkVersion 27         versionCode 1         versionName "1.0"         testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"         multiDexEnabled = true     }     buildTypes {         release {             minifyEnabled false             proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'         }     }     compileOptions {         targetCompatibility 1.8         sourceCompatibility 1.8     } }

In gradle.properties add android.enableD8=true This should work.

Please note that there is a known bug when you export and upload the apk to play store with d8 enable. The app will not run on some devices when downloaded from play store.

If you're using guava, tou can try to upgrade it to the latest android-specific build

implementation 'com.google.guava:guava:23.0-android'

This fixed the error for me when I was using the non-android guava build.
