You have hit the 16-bit dex methods limit. See https://developer.android.com/tools/building/multidex.html — Chris Stratton, Feb 23 '15 at 22:22

If you search StackOverflow for "Unable to execute dex method id", there are tons of hits for exactly this problem. Before asking a new question, you should see if there are any existing questions that match your problem. — JesusFreke, Feb 23 '15 at 22:42
This issue is very known and very embarassing: The problem is that you imported lot of methods inside in your app through the different Libraries. I recommand to read this article :[https://medium.com/@rotxed/dex-skys-the-limit-no-65k-methods-is-28e6cb40cf71 ] A method to bypass this limit. — Yourange, Feb 23 '15 at 23:07

In Android Per Application only 65536 references are allowed.

Your are using so many Sdks which increases method references.

In Android Studio You can use individual library from google play service such as

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:7.5.0'

with these lines:

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:7.5.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:7.5.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-analytics:7.5.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:7.5.0'

complete list is available here https://developers.google.com/android/guides/setup

Some APIs do not have a separate library; include them by including the base library
