I have no idea how to deals with this error, it appears since i add

 defaultConfig {
    ...
    multiDexEnabled true
}

thanks in advance.

You're adding entire 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:9.4.0' library in dependencies then you're using split verison for auth, identity also. Refer to https://developers.google.com/android/guides/setup for proper build dependencies .
