TransformException duplicate entry for common.annotations.Beta

Question

This started when I added google-api-services-calendar. I am getting this error when trying to build:

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithJarMergingForDebug'.
     com.android.build.transform.api.TransformException: java.util.zip.ZipException: 
     duplicate entry: com/google/common/annotations/Beta.class

This is part of the output when running ./gradlew app:dependencies:

I have tried adding this to all my dependencies:

compile (some.dependencie.that.may.or.may.not.have.the.duplicate){
    exclude group: 'com.google.common', module: 'annotations'
}

I tried adding this to my android block:

configurations {
   all*.exclude group: 'com.google.common', module: 'annotations'
}

with these variations:

 all*.exclude module: 'annotations`
 all*.exclude group: 'com.google.common'
 all*.exclude group: 'com.google.common.annotations'

This is the build.gradle before any attempts to fix error:

    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])

}

I have searched my project for Beta.class and found that it is only being used in some jars; com.google.common.annotations, com.google.api.client.util and dagger.internal. I tried to add the exclude group to those related dependencies and still see the same error.

I have been stuck here for way too long. Any suggestions?

I just faced this problem when updating the Android Gradle plugin to com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.4.0-beta3. In my case, the problem is due to AndroidSlidingUpPanelLayout, which depends in turn on nineoldandroids ([link](https://github.com/umano/AndroidSlidingUpPanel/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=nineoldandroids)), and it produces the error. I "fixed" it going back to com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.3.0. — Roi, Oct 01 '15 at 09:33
@ChadBingham Can you try to also exclude `com.google.guava:guava-jdk5:13.0` module; And then, run the task again? — kucing_terbang, Oct 07 '15 at 07:38
@kucing_terbang expand on that, exclude guava from what module? or exclude what from guava? — Chad Bingham, Oct 07 '15 at 18:44
Hi @ChadBingham I've tried to compile sample project with your dependencies list and it works fine on 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.4.0-beta3' and 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.3.0'. I even don't have app:transformClassesWithJarMergingForDebug task in gradle build tasks. It seems that problem in you build.gradle file. Have you tried to build simple project just with these dependencies? — Oleksandr, Oct 08 '15 at 10:19
@Alexandr yes i tried it in a different project and it worked, UNTIL I added manifest permissions for google Calendar API. then I say the same error. — Chad Bingham, Oct 10 '15 at 19:59

Exclude group: 'com.google.guava' from play services related dependencies.

For example:

compile ('com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.1.0'){
    exclude group: 'com.google.guava'
}

P.S. Before getting your error I've faced with a lot of different, so my final dependencies list is:

Why was **guava** specifically the one that needed to be excluded? — IgorGanapolsky, Jul 21 '16 at 17:04
@IgorGanapolsky, I've tried to exclude guava intuitively. And guava was really a problem. I have no clue why... — Oleksandr, Jul 22 '16 at 13:14
I've the same problem. I have used the same library in `libs` folder as well as in gradle dependency. I removed in one place and problem is gone. — Akbarsha, Sep 20 '16 at 16:11
I found removing my reference to guava simpler //compile 'com.google.guava:guava:20.0' — Marc, Jan 03 '17 at 05:10
I got 'duplicate entry: com/google/api/client/util/ArrayMap$Entry.class' — Iman Marashi, Jan 21 '17 at 17:51
@ImanMarashi, @SuperBale try to run `./gradlew app:dependencies` and check the output — Oleksandr, Jan 23 '17 at 12:03
I had the same error. I imported a new library that contained an older version of guava but I have imported the newest version of guava before that. At debug compile I got this error: "Duplicate zip entry guava-jdk5-17.0.jar...". I excluded guava from the new imported library compile and it solved the problem. Thanks for the great answer! — Péter Aradi, Nov 06 '17 at 19:56

I got this error when I had different versions of play services libs in my app module and a library module.

I found the reason to be the incorrectly configured dagger-compiler:

compile 'com.google.dagger:dagger-compiler:2.1'

What I had done is to modify project' build.gradle:

buildscript {
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.neenbedankt.gradle.plugins:android-apt:1.8'
    }
}

And later the application build.gradle:

First, add plugin:

apply plugin: 'com.neenbedankt.android-apt'

And later modify the dependency to:

apt "com.google.dagger:dagger-compiler:2.1"

I had the same issue, had one entry: apt 'com.google.dagger:dagger-compiler:2.1' and then another: compile 'com.google.dagger:dagger-compiler:2.1' Getting rid of the *compile* entry solved the TransformException for me. – brAzzi64 Jun 04 '16 at 21:10

TransformException duplicate entry for common.annotations.Beta
