Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithJarMergingForDebug'

Question

Good day. After updating google repository in AndroidStudio, I have an issue

> Error:Execution failed for task \':app:transformClassesWithJarMergingForDe         


        

Answer 1

I got this error because I did not have the correct line in my build.gradle. I am using the org.apache.http.legacy.jar library, which requires this:

android{
   useLibrary 'org.apache.http.legacy'

   ...
}

So check that you have everything in your gradle file that is required.
