Android Studio 3.0 Execution failed for task: unable to merge dex

Question

android studio was getting build error while build execution with following:

Error:Execution failed for task \':app:transformDexArchiveWithExternalLi

Answer 1

To remove this Dex issue just implement one dependency. This issue occur when we are using multiple different service from the same server. Suppose we are using ads and Firestore in a project and both have a repository maven. so we need to call different data with on repository we need dex dependency to implement. The new update Dependency:-

 implementation 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.3'

I'm sure it will resolve your issue permanent
