Android Studio: Unexpected top level exception (finished with non-zero exit value 2..)

Question

When i\'m trying to debug my android app i\'m getting the following error message:

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

Answer 1

I had the same issue, solved it by doing the following

In the app build gradle file, inside android: add in defaultConfig:

multiDexEnabled true

and add this in the android:

dexOptions {
    javaMaxHeapSize "4g"
}
