Try increasing the build engine's heap size: http://stackoverflow.com/a/25013822/115145 — CommonsWare, Apr 18 '16 at 22:55

remove from your dependencies:

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.4.0'

and look exactly for what else you need from play-services from here.

If you have fine-tuned the selected play services you can now remove the multidex=true and it'll work. At least in theory. – Tatarize Apr 20 '16 at 00:00

Fine tune your play-services so you don't include the entire package. Then it won't exceed the 64k function limit and you can remove the multidex thing that I assume you added because it was objecting.

multiDexEnabled false

And the exact play services so it all fits in the same same dex file.
