When I uninstall pushwoosh plugin the app works perfectly

Can you provide a longer/more verbose error message? That command can be run for a lot of things and fail for a ton more — Machinarius, Jun 03 '16 at 03:57
Thank you for your attempt but the answer was what I put, another plugin is conflicting with the pushwoosh plugin — Kingsley Mitchell, Jun 03 '16 at 06:44

If you use custom Application class in your project you should inherit it from android.support.multidex.MultiDexApplication to make multidex work.

Can you give more detail as to what you mean? – Kingsley Mitchell Jun 03 '16 at 04:04
@KingsleyMitchell did you create any custom `Application` class in Your project which extends `Application`. – Harshad Pansuriya Jun 03 '16 at 04:08
This is a cordova project and there is no application I think? – Kingsley Mitchell Jun 03 '16 at 04:19
@KingsleyMitchell Are you using `Java 1.7` and `1.8`. – Harshad Pansuriya Jun 03 '16 at 04:22

You may or may not hit the dex method count limit. Check out this thread that lists a couple of options to troubleshoot this: Java finished with non-zero exit value 2 - Android Gradle

When I put the multiDexEnabled true then it says my gradle is too low – Kingsley Mitchell Jun 03 '16 at 04:33

Multidex

If you have an issue compiling the app and you're getting an error similar to this (com.android.dex.DexException: Multiple dex files define):

UNEXPECTED TOP-LEVEL EXCEPTION: com.android.dex.DexException: Multiple dex files define Landroid/support/annotation/AnimRes; at com.android.dx.merge.DexMerger.readSortableTypes(DexMerger.java:596) at com.android.dx.merge.DexMerger.getSortedTypes(DexMerger.java:554) at com.android.dx.merge.DexMerger.mergeClassDefs(DexMerger.java:535) at com.android.dx.merge.DexMerger.mergeDexes(DexMerger.java:171) at com.android.dx.merge.DexMerger.merge(DexMerger.java:189) at com.android.dx.command.dexer.Main.mergeLibraryDexBuffers(Main.java:502) at com.android.dx.command.dexer.Main.runMonoDex(Main.java:334) at com.android.dx.command.dexer.Main.run(Main.java:277) at com.android.dx.command.dexer.Main.main(Main.java:245) at com.android.dx.command.Main.main(Main.java:106) Then at least one other plugin you have installed is using an outdated way to declare dependencies such as android-support or play-services-gcm. This causes gradle to fail, and you'll need to identify which plugin is causing it and request an update to the plugin author, so that it uses the proper way to declare dependencies for cordova. See this for the reference on the cordova plugin specification, it'll be usefull to mention it when creating an issue or requesting that plugin to be updated.

Common plugins to suffer from this outdated dependency management are plugins related to facebook, google+, notifications, crosswalk and google maps.

This error means you have two classes with the same names during the linking (dexer) phase.

Multiple dex files define Lcom/google/android/gms/iid/MessengerCompat$1;

It looks like other plugin is referencing google play services library directly.

The correct way of referencing it on Cordova is through gradle (as Pushwoosh plugin is doing):
https://github.com/Pushwoosh/pushwoosh-phonegap-plugin/blob/master/plugin.xml#L102

Find the other plugin who is referencing google-play-services.jar or similar and remove (just delete) this library from there.
