Answer 1

Open the /android/app/build.gradle file.

Under dependencies we need to add the module, and then enable it within defaultConfig

android {
    defaultConfig {
        // ...
        multiDexEnabled true
    }
    // ...
}

dependencies {
  implementation 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.3'
}
