java.util.zip.ZipException: duplicate entry during packageAllDebugClassesForMultiDex

Question

I am not sure what this error means.

Execution failed for task \':excelSior:packageAllDebugClassesForMultiDex\'.
> java.util.zip.ZipException: duplicate          


        

Answer 1

This is because you have added a library and given its dependency on a module more than once.

In my case, I had added a library as a module and as a gradle dependency both.

Removing one source of adding library (I removed gradle dependency) solved my problem.
