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

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
Solution 1:
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 2:
If you make multiDexEnabled = true in defaultConfig of the app, you will get the desired result.
defaultConfig {
minSdkVersion 14
targetSdkVersion 22
multiDexEnabled = true
}
Solution 3:
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 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:
-
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 } 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:
- Go to SDK manager, and install any updates to your dependencies
- 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
- 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
