Answer 1

Please clear you dependencies. You have an error, because you have a lot of libraries, that have same functionality. Also

Warning:WARNING: Dependency org.apache.httpcomponents:httpclient:4.3.2 is ignored for release as it may be conflicting with the internal version provided by Android.

In my opinion the problem is in

compile 'com.squareup.retrofit2:retrofit:2.3.0'
compile 'org.apache.commons:commons-lang3:3.5'

This two libraries can have same classes, so you need to exclude one of them, or exclude this duplicates. You can try

android {

...


    packagingOptions {
           exclude  'org/apache/http/annotation/NotThreadSafe.class'
    }
}

Pretty the same topic(Gradle build error : Duplicate entry)

Answer 2

the above answer may also be correct, but it seems also an issue of the new google repo

add google as in below

In your root level gradle.build use below

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
        jcenter()
        google()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.0'
        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
        jcenter()
        google()
    }
}

task clean(type: Delete) {
    delete rootProject.buildDir
}

and in your gradle-wrapper.properties file change the wrapper version as below

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.2.1-all.zip
