android build-gradle error :app:dexDebug

Question

Here is my build.gradle file (inside the app module):

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 21
    buildToolsVersion "21.1.2"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.example.myFirtApp"
        minSdkVersion 15
        targetSdkVersion 21
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
    }
    buildTypes {

        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

repositories { mavenCentral() }

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.0.0'
    compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:22.0.0'
    compile 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:3.21.1'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:7.0.0'
}

The error I get:

Has anyone else encountered this issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The issue was with one of the jar files, it was a beta version which was working yesterday but not today... I removed it and Grable build succeeded — toutydroid, Mar 20 '15 at 23:57

The issue is solved; one of the jar files was beta version and was causing issues after two days of usage; once deleted, the app run properly.
