Error:com.android.builder.dexing.DexArchiveBuilderException: Failed to process guava-21.0.jar Android 3.1 Dev Channel

After updating my dependency versions in AndroidStudio3.1, I started getting the following error:

    Information:Gradle tasks [:app:assembleDebug]

I have already cleaned and rebuilt project. Checked my "multiDexEnabled true" and 'compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.2' is added.

What else can I do?

EDIT: Adding build.gradle

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 27
    buildToolsVersion '26.0.2'
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.blabla"

    configurations.all {

I had the same issue in react-native project,

the below lines worked for me,

compileOptions {
    sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
} 

Update your Guava version

Guava 21 is Java 8 only.

Update your gradle to Guava version 27.0.1-android, which is compatible with Android:

Gradle 4.6+:

dependencies {
  implementation 'com.google.guava:guava:27.0.1-android'
}

Previous Gradle versions:

dependencies {
  compile 'com.google.guava:guava:27.0.1-android'
}

I had same problem and I solved it cleaning project and rebuilding it.

In Android Studio go to Build --> Clean Project and after, Build --> Rebuild Project

Hope it helps

I had the similar case when I switched to OkHttp 4.x. It turned out that I had to disable the method profiling in run configuration: Edit Configurations -> app -> Profiling tab -> uncheck Enable advanced profiling. It solved my case but I cannot use profiling now on older devices.

In my case, I was getting the error because I was clicking the Debug 'app' button while my build variant was set to release. When I changed my build variant to debug, then clicked the Debug button again, the error went away. I hope this helps someone.

I had the same issue and my problem was dependency conflict. I searched for the conflict via the gradle dependency tree:

gradlew app:dependencies

Then I excluded the module for the conflicting library (e.g org.json:json):

api ('<conflicting-library>',{
     exclude group:'org.json', module:'json'
})
