It seems you have a problem with Over 64K Methods and then tried to resolved it with multiDexEnabled true in build.gradle (app module). But you need to add more than:

add: compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.0' in dependencies of build.gradle
Extends your Application class to MultiDexApplication. and add MultiDex.install(this); in onCreated method of Application class.

your issue should be resolved

This works great which you add multidex support in manifest, when ever i encounter problem i got it fixed this way more over 64K.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.example.myapp">
    <application
            android:name="android.support.multidex.MultiDexApplication" >
        ...
    </application>
</manifest>

just remove the google play services dependencies if you are including it. I am able to fix this error everytime using this. If you are using google maps or any other specific google service then include the dependency for that particular service only. Also try to check the version of google play service dependency.

app=>build.gradle

android {
.....
defaultConfig {
......
 multiDexEnabled true//add this line
}
......
dependencies{
 compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1'//add this line
}

In manifest

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
....
<application
....
 android:name="android.support.multidex.MultiDexApplication" 
...>
 <activity   />
...

</application>

</manifest>

I got the same error. I resolved it by :

1) Removing unnecessary packages in the build.gralde.

2) Disabling the Firebase plugin

3) Upgrading the build tool to the latest

A simple solution that works for me after trying all of these solution is by deleting outputs folder under project\app\build\ and rebuilding project will let it to running state.
