commons-logging defines classes that conflict with classes now provided by Android after Android Studio Update

Question

I have updated Android Studio to version 3 and now seems unable to compile my project previously compiled without errors.

The error message is the follow

Answer 1

Run in terminal, inside project folder:

./gradlew app:dependencies > dependencies.txt

Then check dependencies.txt to find who is using conflictive dependencies and act accordingly (check for updates, get rid of it, or use exclude as suggested by @Silverstorm)

Answer 2

Add to build.gradle located in app module

configurations {
    all {
        exclude module: 'httpclient'
    }
}
