java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Couldn't find meta-data for provider with authority androidx.multidex.provider

Do not use androidx.multidex.BuildConfig, Because this values are not the values of our application:

package androidx.multidex;

public final class BuildConfig {
    public static final boolean DEBUG = false;
    public static final String APPLICATION_ID = "androidx.multidex";
    public static final String BUILD_TYPE = "release";
    public static final String FLAVOR = "";
    public static final int VERSION_CODE = -1;
    public static final String VERSION_NAME = "";

    public BuildConfig() {
    }
}
