Answer 1

I had a similar problem after building using phonegap/cordova: com.android.dex.DexException: Multiple dex files define Lcom/google/android/gms/internal/zzsk;

I fixed it by editing build.gradle(module Android), as I had 2 libraries that should have the exact same version with different version numbers (8.4.0 and 9.2.1 in my case)

dependencies{
....
//make sure are both same version (8.4.0 or 9.2.1 in my case)
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:9.2.1'
// this is the one I changed:  compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:8.4.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:9.2.1' // it was 8.4.0
....
}
