Android Studio DexIndexOverflowException: method ID not in

Question

I use Android Studio to develop an application and I face this error which I have no idea how to solve.

com.android.dex.DexIndexOverflowException: met

Answer 1

Execution failed for task ':app:transformDexArchiveWithDexMergerForDebug'.

com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: com.android.dex.DexIndexOverflowException: method ID not in [0, 0xffff]: 65536

Latest version com.android.support:multidex:1.0.3 worked for me!

dependencies {
  compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.3'
}
