Android- Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithDexForRelease'

android android-studio gradle android-gradle-plugin gradlew

Solution 1

For me, the problem was solved after I removed jar file from my project. it seems that one of the jar files inside my project was using an older version of google play services.

Solution 2

i fixed it just this code.

local.properties

org.gradle.jvmargs=-XX\:MaxHeapSize\=512m -Xmx512m

and you should do this changing on gradle 

defaultConfig {
    applicationId "yourProjectPackage"
    minSdkVersion 15
    versionCode 1
    versionName "1.0"
    targetSdkVersion 23

    multiDexEnabled true //important
}

Solution 3

If you make multiDexEnabled = true in defaultConfig of the app, you will get the desired result.

defaultConfig {
    minSdkVersion 14
    targetSdkVersion 22
    multiDexEnabled = true
}

Solution 4

I did receive also the same error:

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithDexForDebug'. com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: java.lang.RuntimeException: com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: org.gradle.process.internal.ExecException: Process 'command 'C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_60\bin\java.exe'' finished with non-zero exit value 1

well I fixed this with help of following steps:

  1. Open your app's build.gradle (not the one in the project root) and add:

    android {
//snippet
//add this into your existing 'android' block

    dexOptions {
    javaMaxHeapSize "4g"
    }

//snip
}

  2. Try your build again.

Note: 4g is 4 Gigabytes and this is a maximum heap size for dex operation.

Solution 5

NO NEED FOR MULTIDEX, I REPEAT, NO NEEED FOR MULTIDEX

Let me elaborate: Multidex is basically a tool that comes with Android, and if you set it to true, apps with >64,000 methods are able to compile using a slightly altered build process. However you only need to use multidex if your error looks like this:

trouble writing output: Too many field references: 131000; max is 65536. You may try using --multi-dex option.

or like this

Conversion to Dalvik format failed: Unable to execute dex: method ID not in [0, 0xffff]: 65536

But that is not the case here! The problem here (for me atleast) is being caused by your build.gradle file's dependencies.

THE SOLUTION: Utilize specific dependencies—don't just import an entire section of dependencies!

For example, if you need the Play Services dependency for location, only import it for location.

DO:

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:11.0.4'

DON'T:

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services'

Another issue that could be causing this may be some sort of external library you are using, that is referencing a prior version of your dependency. Follow these steps in that case:

  1. Go to SDK manager, and install any updates to your dependencies
  2. Make sure that your build.gradle file shows the latest version. To get the latest version, use this link: https://developers.google.com/android/guides/setup
  3. Edit your library (or install an updated version if that exists), to reference the latest version

I know this question is old, but I need to get this answer out there, because using multidex for no reason could potentially cause ANR's for your app! ONLY use multidex if you're sure you need it, and you understand what it is.

I myself spent hours trying to resolve this issue without multidex, and I just wanted to share my findings—hope this helps

    The Problem is that i am able to run my app when i change to debug mode but it fails when i switch to release mode.

    Exception:

    **FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.**
> Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithDexForRelease'.

    When i ran the gradle build command with stacktrace then this is what i get

    ./gradlew app:transformClassesWithDexForRelease --stacktrace

    It seems i am able to get my release build working if i remove minifyEnabled true from it. Why is that, is there another way to solve it

      could you post your app's build.gradle file?

      @Harisewak i have updated the question, Please take a look at it now
    • Harisewak

      Yes @Sheraz you are right that switching minifyEnabled to false solves the issue. I read this in doc : 'you have to enable minifyEnabled in order to turn on code shrinking, and then shrinkResources to turn on resource shrinking. If you have not already been using minifyEnabled, make sure you get that working before also adding shrinkResources, since you may have to edit your proguard-rules.pro file to make sure any methods you access with reflection etc are listed as keep rules in that file' (tools.android.com/tech-docs/new-build-system/resource-shrin‌​king). See if this is the case.

      I have the same problem with my project. If I use the com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.3.0, I'm able to compile. As soon as I use the 2.0.0 it gives me the same problem

      I had the same issue because my project has duplicated libraries, external classes which are duplicate classes from android framework. For example I had QName.class (and other too) in library xpp3_min-1.1.4c which are duplicate class from android-26 library. To avoid this issue please follow the link: stackoverflow.com/questions/30648172/…

    thanks i have changed the version to compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.4.0' i think volley uses some old Google play services which are not compatible with play-services:>9.0

    same issue with jackrabbit-standalone-2.12.2.jar. If I add it to project then the issue raises.

    This was the solution for me. The problem is that several third-party modules reference play-services with different versions so how is it expected that these versions are going to be in sync all the time? Very weird architectural detail.

    @MikeOx I updated some Android tools, and as a result I ended up with two versions of a few jar files, e.g. mockable-android-24.jar and mockable-android-25.jar. Removing the older ones fixed these build errors for me.

    "local.properties" is that a file name or a configuration value? Where (eg: in which folder) is it located inside the project?
  • aemre

    The local.properties file goes in the project's root level. if you have a problem about multiDex--> developer.android.com/studio/build/multidex.html

    You didn't need a JAR file. compile 'com.android.volley:volley:1.0.0' developer.android.com/training/volley/index.html

    This is a sign that all the other Google Play Services version that you use do not match.

    Your should not use this. Please selectively compile those libraries. developers.google.com/android/guides/setup#split

    @IvanMilisavljevic You can use Gradle now, not JAR files. developers.google.com/android/guides/setup#split

    That is not the only step to allowing Multidex. And you only need it when you see a DexException, anyway. developer.android.com/studio/build/multidex.html

    On API <21, multiDexEnabled without extending Application class from MultiDexApplication will lead to NoClassDefFoundErrors.

    such a stupid answer. if you have a lot of dependencies you will need multi dex anyway. just add kotlin libraries, a couple of google services (com.google.android.gms:play-services-*:*) , firebase services, crashlytics, gson, androidx (support libraries), cardview, recyclerview, android.material:material. IT'S NOT POSSIBLE WITHOUT MULTI DEX (do you like capslock? I don't, so please don't answer such questions here next time...)

    Some body is clever here! Exactly !, its not multidex error, multidex error is different, and it can be from some of dependencies. and @user155, RUCHIR IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR DEPENDENCIES PROBLEM!and i like capslocks :)
