Answer 1

as @rubo77 says and after my confirmation:

• Latest solution
  • Upgrade gradle version
    • eg:
      • from 3.5.2 to 3.5.3
      • from 3.5.2 to 3.5.4
• Obsolete solution:
  • downgrade from 3.5.2 to 3.5.1

my choice is : upgrade from 3.5.2 to 3.5.4

build.gradle:

    dependencies {
//        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.5.2'
//        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.5.3'
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.5.4'
    }

Answer 2

As Rajen Raiyarela said, go to File->Project Structure->Project->Android Gradle Plugin Version and downgrade it from 3.5.2 to 3.5.1.

Answer 3

This issue is happening because of duplicate dependencies.
Check for multiple dependencies in the Gradle app.

Answer 4

Either package it once or not at all:

android {
    packagingOptions {
        pickFirst "META-INF/MANIFEST.MF"
        // exclude "META-INF/MANIFEST.MF"
    }
}

Answer 5

Set project dependencies to:

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.5.3'

or latest one.

Note: by doing this, my problem has been resolved.
