Answer 1

I have spent way to many hours on this stupid issue but finally got it resolved:

When creating a new project -> package name is causing this stupid dex issue to appear, must not be able to find the main activity during run time with whatever deployment assemply setup. Android Studio doesn't like some of my commonly used package names, I'm completely baffled..I think this is a pretty big bug haha

Given the following new project parameters:

Name: NotificationApp, packageName: com.stores.business.notificationapp, saveLocation: /home/me/AndroidStudioProjects/NotificationApp

I would get the following error: java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to instantiate activity ComponentInfo{com.stores.business.notificationapp/com.stores.business.notificationapp.MainActivity}: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Didn't find class "com.stores.business.notificationapp.MainActivity" on path: DexPathList[[zip file "/data/app/com.stores.business.notificationapp-2/base.apk"],nativeLibraryDirectories=[/data/app/com.cvs.stores.myapplication-2/lib/arm64, /vendor/lib64, /system/lib64]] at android.app.ActivityThread.performLaunchActivity(ActivityThread.java:2327)

My Solution I resolved it by changing the package name to:com.notificationapp, then File->invalidate caches/Restart..hope this helps someone else haha
